Calculate the LCM of 278,501,245,261

Given numbers are 278,501,245,261

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

The LCM of 278,501,245,261 is 2968710570.

Find LCM of 278,501,245,261 with Prime Factorization


3 278, 501, 245, 261
278, 167, 245, 87

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

3 x 278 x 167 x 245 x 87 = 2968710570

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,501,245,261 is 2968710570.

LCM Formula to Find Lowest Common Multiple of 278,501,245,261

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 501 x 245 x 261 = 8906131710

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

501 : 1, 3, 167, 501

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

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,501,245,261, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

501:3x 167

245:5x 7x 7

261:3x 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.

3 = 3

Therefore, the value for common factors is 3.

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 = 8906131710/(1x3)

LCM = 8906131710/3

LCM = 2968710570

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,501,245,261 is 2968710570.
