Given numbers are 278,687,964,266

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

The LCM of 278,687,964,266 is 12243348516.

Find LCM of 278,687,964,266 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 139 x 687 x 482 x 133 = 12243348516

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,687,964,266 is 12243348516.

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 687 x 964 x 266 = 48973394064

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

687 : 1, 3, 229, 687

964 : 1, 2, 4, 241, 482, 964

266 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 38, 133, 266

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,687,964,266, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

687:3x 229

964:2x 2x 241

266:2x 7x 19

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 48973394064/(1x4)

LCM = 48973394064/4

LCM = 12243348516

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,687,964,266 is 12243348516.
