Given numbers are 278,917,613,178

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

The LCM of 278,917,613,178 is 13907997782.

Find LCM of 278,917,613,178 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 139 x 917 x 613 x 89 = 13907997782

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,917,613,178 is 13907997782.

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 917 x 613 x 178 = 27815995564

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

917 : 1, 7, 131, 917

613 : 1, 613

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,917,613,178, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

917:7x 131

613:613

178:2x 89

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 27815995564/(1x2)

LCM = 27815995564/2

LCM = 13907997782

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,917,613,178 is 13907997782.
