Given numbers are 279,862,239,291,471

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

The LCM of 279,862,239,291,471 is 875348026038.

Find LCM of 279,862,239,291,471 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 93 x 862 x 239 x 97 x 157 = 875348026038

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 279,862,239,291,471 is 875348026038.

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 862 x 239 x 291 x 471 = 7878132234342

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

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

239 : 1, 239

291 : 1, 3, 97, 291

471 : 1, 3, 157, 471

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 279,862,239,291,471, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

279:3x 3x 31

862:2x 431

239:239

291:3x 97

471:3x 157

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

3x 3 = 9

Therefore, the value for common factors is 9.

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 = 7878132234342/(1x9)

LCM = 7878132234342/9

LCM = 875348026038

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 279,862,239,291,471 is 875348026038.
