Given numbers are 851,278,118,879

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

The LCM of 851,278,118,879 is 12269171658.

Find LCM of 851,278,118,879 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 851 x 139 x 59 x 879 = 12269171658

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 851,278,118,879 is 12269171658.

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.

851 x 278 x 118 x 879 = 24538343316

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.

851 : 1, 23, 37, 851

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

118 : 1, 2, 59, 118

879 : 1, 3, 293, 879

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 851,278,118,879, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

851:23x 37

278:2x 139

118:2x 59

879:3x 293

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 = 24538343316/(1x2)

LCM = 24538343316/2

LCM = 12269171658

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 851,278,118,879 is 12269171658.
