Given numbers are 278,988,803,526,521
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 278,988,803,526,521 is 15110567036708.
Find LCM of 278,988,803,526,521 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 278, 988, 803, 526, 521 |
| 139, 494, 803, 263, 521 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 139 x 494 x 803 x 263 x 521 = 15110567036708
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,988,803,526,521 is 15110567036708.
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 988 x 803 x 526 x 521 = 60442268146832
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
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
803 : 1, 11, 73, 803
526 : 1, 2, 263, 526
521 : 1, 521
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,988,803,526,521, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
278:2x 139
988:2x 2x 13x 19
803:11x 73
526:2x 263
521:521
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 = 60442268146832/(1x4)
LCM = 60442268146832/4
LCM = 15110567036708
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,988,803,526,521 is 15110567036708.
