Given numbers are 278,305,245,848

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

The LCM of 278,305,245,848 is 1761597040.

Find LCM of 278,305,245,848 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 5 x 139 x 61 x 49 x 424 = 1761597040

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,305,245,848 is 1761597040.

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 305 x 245 x 848 = 17615970400

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

305 : 1, 5, 61, 305

245 : 1, 5, 7, 35, 49, 245

848 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 106, 212, 424, 848

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,305,245,848, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

305:5x 61

245:5x 7x 7

848:2x 2x 2x 2x 53

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

2x 5 = 10

Therefore, the value for common factors is 10.

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 = 17615970400/(1x10)

LCM = 17615970400/10

LCM = 1761597040

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,305,245,848 is 1761597040.
