Given numbers are 278,466,837,434

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

The LCM of 278,466,837,434 is 379510866.

Find LCM of 278,466,837,434 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 31 x 139 x 233 x 27 x 7 = 379510866

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,466,837,434 is 379510866.

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 466 x 837 x 434 = 47059347384

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

466 : 1, 2, 233, 466

837 : 1, 3, 9, 27, 31, 93, 279, 837

434 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 31, 62, 217, 434

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,466,837,434, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

466:2x 233

837:3x 3x 3x 31

434:2x 7x 31

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 31 = 124

Therefore, the value for common factors is 124.

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 = 47059347384/(1x124)

LCM = 47059347384/124

LCM = 379510866

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,466,837,434 is 379510866.
