Given numbers are 278,534,973,881

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

The LCM of 278,534,973,881 is 457751742.

Find LCM of 278,534,973,881 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 139 x 1 x 267 x 7 x 881 = 457751742

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,534,973,881 is 457751742.

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 534 x 973 x 881 = 127254984276

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

534 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 89, 178, 267, 534

973 : 1, 7, 139, 973

881 : 1, 881

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,534,973,881, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

534:2x 3x 89

973:7x 139

881:881

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

2x 139 = 278

Therefore, the value for common factors is 278.

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 = 127254984276/(1x278)

LCM = 127254984276/278

LCM = 457751742

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,534,973,881 is 457751742.
