Given numbers are 508,597,278

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

The LCM of 508,597,278 is 42155364.

Find LCM of 508,597,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 254 x 597 x 139 = 42155364

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 508,597,278 is 42155364.

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.

508 x 597 x 278 = 84310728

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.

508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508

597 : 1, 3, 199, 597

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 508,597,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

508:2x 2x 127

597:3x 199

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.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 84310728/(1x2)

LCM = 84310728/2

LCM = 42155364

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 508,597,278 is 42155364.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 714, 227, 240
• LCM of 325, 852, 667
