Given numbers are 854,986,278,282

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

The LCM of 854,986,278,282 is 8251610178.

Find LCM of 854,986,278,282 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 427 x 493 x 139 x 141 = 8251610178

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 854,986,278,282 is 8251610178.

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.

854 x 986 x 278 x 282 = 66012881424

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.

854 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 61, 122, 427, 854

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

282 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, 282

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 854,986,278,282, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

854:2x 7x 61

986:2x 17x 29

278:2x 139

282:2x 3x 47

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 66012881424/(2x4)

LCM = 66012881424/8

LCM = 8251610178

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 854,986,278,282 is 8251610178.
