Given numbers are 284,735,301,278

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

The LCM of 284,735,301,278 is 1247638980.

Find LCM of 284,735,301,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 7 x 142 x 105 x 43 x 139 = 1247638980

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 284,735,301,278 is 1247638980.

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.

284 x 735 x 301 x 278 = 17466945720

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.

284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284

735 : 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, 49, 105, 147, 245, 735

301 : 1, 7, 43, 301

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 284,735,301,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

284:2x 2x 71

735:3x 5x 7x 7

301:7x 43

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.

2x 7 = 14

Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.

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 = 17466945720/(1x14)

LCM = 17466945720/14

LCM = 1247638980

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 284,735,301,278 is 1247638980.
