Given numbers are 282,489,591,160,878

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

The LCM of 282,489,591,160,878 is 318022206240.

Find LCM of 282,489,591,160,878 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 47 x 163 x 197 x 80 x 439 = 318022206240

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 282,489,591,160,878 is 318022206240.

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.

282 x 489 x 591 x 160 x 878 = 11448799424640

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.

282 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, 282

489 : 1, 3, 163, 489

591 : 1, 3, 197, 591

160 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160

878 : 1, 2, 439, 878

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 282,489,591,160,878, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

282:2x 3x 47

489:3x 163

591:3x 197

160:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5

878:2x 439

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 3x 3 = 36

Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.

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 = 11448799424640/(1x36)

LCM = 11448799424640/36

LCM = 318022206240

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 282,489,591,160,878 is 318022206240.
