Given numbers are 278,988,884,373
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 278,988,884,373 is 870822212.
Find LCM of 278,988,884,373 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 278, 988, 884, 373 |
| 2 | 139, 494, 442, 373 |
| 13 | 139, 247, 221, 373 |
| 139, 19, 17, 373 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 139 x 19 x 17 x 373 = 870822212
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 278,988,884,373 is 870822212.
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 884 x 373 = 90565510048
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
884 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442, 884
373 : 1, 373
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 278,988,884,373, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
278:2x 139
988:2x 2x 13x 19
884:2x 2x 13x 17
373:373
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 2x 13 = 104
Therefore, the value for common factors is 104.
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 = 90565510048/(1x104)
LCM = 90565510048/104
LCM = 870822212
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 278,988,884,373 is 870822212.
