Given numbers are 304,281,718,171

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

The LCM of 304,281,718,171 is 276004944.

Find LCM of 304,281,718,171 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 19 x 8 x 281 x 359 x 9 = 276004944

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 304,281,718,171 is 276004944.

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.

304 x 281 x 718 x 171 = 10488187872

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.

304 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304

281 : 1, 281

718 : 1, 2, 359, 718

171 : 1, 3, 9, 19, 57, 171

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 304,281,718,171, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

304:2x 2x 2x 2x 19

281:281

718:2x 359

171:3x 3x 19

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

2x 19 = 38

Therefore, the value for common factors is 38.

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 = 10488187872/(1x38)

LCM = 10488187872/38

LCM = 276004944

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 304,281,718,171 is 276004944.
