Given numbers are 278,966,248,957,747

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

The LCM of 278,966,248,957,747 is 1322524243656.

Find LCM of 278,966,248,957,747 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 139 x 161 x 124 x 319 x 249 = 1322524243656

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,966,248,957,747 is 1322524243656.

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 966 x 248 x 957 x 747 = 47610872771616

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

966 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 23, 42, 46, 69, 138, 161, 322, 483, 966

248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248

957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957

747 : 1, 3, 9, 83, 249, 747

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,966,248,957,747, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

278:2x 139

966:2x 3x 7x 23

248:2x 2x 2x 31

957:3x 11x 29

747:3x 3x 83

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 3x 3 = 36

Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.

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 = 47610872771616/(1x36)

LCM = 47610872771616/36

LCM = 1322524243656

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,966,248,957,747 is 1322524243656.
