Given numbers are 278,116,319,878

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 278,116,319,878 is 77862796.

Find LCM of 278,116,319,878 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 29 x 139 x 2 x 11 x 439 = 77862796

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,116,319,878 is 77862796.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

278 x 116 x 319 x 878 = 9032084336

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

116 : 1, 2, 4, 29, 58, 116

319 : 1, 11, 29, 319

878 : 1, 2, 439, 878

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,116,319,878, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

116:2x 2x 29

319:11x 29

878:2x 439

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2x 29 = 116

Therefore, the value for common factors is 116.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 9032084336/(1x116)

LCM = 9032084336/116

LCM = 77862796

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,116,319,878 is 77862796.
