Given numbers are 298,872,850,278

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

The LCM of 298,872,850,278 is 7675496600.

Find LCM of 298,872,850,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 149 x 436 x 425 x 139 = 7675496600

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 298,872,850,278 is 7675496600.

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.

298 x 872 x 850 x 278 = 61403972800

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.

298 : 1, 2, 149, 298

872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872

850 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 170, 425, 850

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 298,872,850,278, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

298:2x 149

872:2x 2x 2x 109

850:2x 5x 5x 17

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 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 61403972800/(2x4)

LCM = 61403972800/8

LCM = 7675496600

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 298,872,850,278 is 7675496600.
