Given numbers are 402,237,891,478,268

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

The LCM of 402,237,891,478,268 is 4508556228.

Find LCM of 402,237,891,478,268 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 67 x 1 x 79 x 297 x 239 x 2 = 4508556228

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 402,237,891,478,268 is 4508556228.

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.

402 x 237 x 891 x 478 x 268 = 10874637621936

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.

402 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, 402

237 : 1, 3, 79, 237

891 : 1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 81, 99, 297, 891

478 : 1, 2, 239, 478

268 : 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 402,237,891,478,268, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

402:2x 3x 67

237:3x 79

891:3x 3x 3x 3x 11

478:2x 239

268:2x 2x 67

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 3x 67 = 2412

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2412.

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 = 10874637621936/(1x2412)

LCM = 10874637621936/2412

LCM = 4508556228

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 402,237,891,478,268 is 4508556228.
