Given numbers are 281,863,248,278

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

The LCM of 281,863,248,278 is 8359563416.

Find LCM of 281,863,248,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 281 x 863 x 124 x 139 = 8359563416

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 281,863,248,278 is 8359563416.

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.

281 x 863 x 248 x 278 = 16719126832

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.

281 : 1, 281

863 : 1, 863

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

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 281,863,248,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

281:281

863:863

248:2x 2x 2x 31

278:2x 139

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 = 16719126832/(1x2)

LCM = 16719126832/2

LCM = 8359563416

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 281,863,248,278 is 8359563416.
