Given numbers are 278,146,346,529,508

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

The LCM of 278,146,346,529,508 is 471740483492.

Find LCM of 278,146,346,529,508 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 139 x 73 x 173 x 529 x 254 = 471740483492

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,146,346,529,508 is 471740483492.

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 146 x 346 x 529 x 508 = 3773923867936

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

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

346 : 1, 2, 173, 346

529 : 1, 23, 529

508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,146,346,529,508, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

146:2x 73

346:2x 173

529:23x 23

508:2x 2x 127

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 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 3773923867936/(1x8)

LCM = 3773923867936/8

LCM = 471740483492

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,146,346,529,508 is 471740483492.
