Given numbers are 278,724,850,482

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

The LCM of 278,724,850,482 is 10307642300.

Find LCM of 278,724,850,482 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 139 x 362 x 425 x 241 = 10307642300

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,724,850,482 is 10307642300.

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 724 x 850 x 482 = 82461138400

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

724 : 1, 2, 4, 181, 362, 724

850 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 170, 425, 850

482 : 1, 2, 241, 482

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,724,850,482, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

724:2x 2x 181

850:2x 5x 5x 17

482:2x 241

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 = 82461138400/(2x4)

LCM = 82461138400/8

LCM = 10307642300

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,724,850,482 is 10307642300.
