Given numbers are 278,278,585,387,280
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 278,278,585,387,280 is 195806520.
Find LCM of 278,278,585,387,280 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 278, 278, 585, 387, 280 |
| 3 | 139, 139, 585, 387, 140 |
| 3 | 139, 139, 195, 129, 140 |
| 5 | 139, 139, 65, 43, 140 |
| 139 | 139, 139, 13, 43, 28 |
| 1, 1, 13, 43, 28 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 139 x 1 x 1 x 13 x 43 x 28 = 195806520
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,278,585,387,280 is 195806520.
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 278 x 585 x 387 x 280 = 4899079130400
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
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
585 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 13, 15, 39, 45, 65, 117, 195, 585
387 : 1, 3, 9, 43, 129, 387
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,278,585,387,280, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
278:2x 139
278:2x 139
585:3x 3x 5x 13
387:3x 3x 43
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
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 3x 3x 5x 139 = 25020
Therefore, the value for common factors is 25020.
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 = 4899079130400/(1x25020)
LCM = 4899079130400/25020
LCM = 195806520
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,278,585,387,280 is 195806520.
