Given numbers are 279,839,478,268

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

The LCM of 279,839,478,268 is 14993356212.

Find LCM of 279,839,478,268 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 279 x 839 x 239 x 134 = 14993356212

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 279,839,478,268 is 14993356212.

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.

279 x 839 x 478 x 268 = 29986712424

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.

279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279

839 : 1, 839

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

268 : 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 279,839,478,268, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

279:3x 3x 31

839:839

478:2x 239

268:2x 2x 67

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 = 29986712424/(1x2)

LCM = 29986712424/2

LCM = 14993356212

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 279,839,478,268 is 14993356212.
