Given numbers are 852,245,277,278

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

The LCM of 852,245,277,278 is 8037116220.

Find LCM of 852,245,277,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 426 x 245 x 277 x 139 = 8037116220

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 852,245,277,278 is 8037116220.

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.

852 x 245 x 277 x 278 = 16074232440

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.

852 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 71, 142, 213, 284, 426, 852

245 : 1, 5, 7, 35, 49, 245

277 : 1, 277

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 852,245,277,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

852:2x 2x 3x 71

245:5x 7x 7

277:277

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 = 16074232440/(1x2)

LCM = 16074232440/2

LCM = 8037116220

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 852,245,277,278 is 8037116220.
