Given numbers are 278,831,860,224

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

The LCM of 278,831,860,224 is 5562913440.

Find LCM of 278,831,860,224 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 139 x 831 x 215 x 56 = 5562913440

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,831,860,224 is 5562913440.

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 831 x 860 x 224 = 44503307520

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

831 : 1, 3, 277, 831

860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860

224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,831,860,224, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

831:3x 277

860:2x 2x 5x 43

224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7

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

2x 2x 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 44503307520/(1x8)

LCM = 44503307520/8

LCM = 5562913440

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,831,860,224 is 5562913440.
