Given numbers are 278,556,863,837

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

The LCM of 278,556,863,837 is 401616036.

Find LCM of 278,556,863,837 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 139 x 1 x 2 x 863 x 837 = 401616036

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,556,863,837 is 401616036.

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 556 x 863 x 837 = 111649258008

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

556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556

863 : 1, 863

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

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,556,863,837, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

556:2x 2x 139

863:863

837:3x 3x 3x 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 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 = 111649258008/(1x278)

LCM = 111649258008/278

LCM = 401616036

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,556,863,837 is 401616036.
