Given numbers are 278,161,552,982,264

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

The LCM of 278,161,552,982,264 is 2900855496.

Find LCM of 278,161,552,982,264 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 23 x 139 x 7 x 1 x 491 x 11 = 2900855496

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,161,552,982,264 is 2900855496.

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 161 x 552 x 982 x 264 = 6405088935168

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

161 : 1, 7, 23, 161

552 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 23, 24, 46, 69, 92, 138, 184, 276, 552

982 : 1, 2, 491, 982

264 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,161,552,982,264, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

161:7x 23

552:2x 2x 2x 3x 23

982:2x 491

264:2x 2x 2x 3x 11

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 2x 2x 2x 3x 23 = 2208

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2208.

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 = 6405088935168/(1x2208)

LCM = 6405088935168/2208

LCM = 2900855496

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,161,552,982,264 is 2900855496.
