Given numbers are 278,332,166,181,522

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

The LCM of 278,332,166,181,522 is 2180077668.

Find LCM of 278,332,166,181,522 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 83 x 139 x 2 x 1 x 181 x 261 = 2180077668

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,332,166,181,522 is 2180077668.

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 332 x 166 x 181 x 522 = 1447571571552

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

332 : 1, 2, 4, 83, 166, 332

166 : 1, 2, 83, 166

181 : 1, 181

522 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 29, 58, 87, 174, 261, 522

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,332,166,181,522, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

332:2x 2x 83

166:2x 83

181:181

522:2x 3x 3x 29

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 83 = 664

Therefore, the value for common factors is 664.

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 = 1447571571552/(1x664)

LCM = 1447571571552/664

LCM = 2180077668

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,332,166,181,522 is 2180077668.
