Given numbers are 863,936,863,157,278

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

The LCM of 863,936,863,157,278 is 17627921064.

Find LCM of 863,936,863,157,278 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 863 x 1 x 468 x 1 x 157 x 139 = 17627921064

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 863,936,863,157,278 is 17627921064.

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.

863 x 936 x 863 x 157 x 278 = 30425791756464

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.

863 : 1, 863

936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936

863 : 1, 863

157 : 1, 157

278 : 1, 2, 139, 278

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 863,936,863,157,278, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

863:863

936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13

863:863

157:157

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.

2x 863 = 1726

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1726.

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 = 30425791756464/(1x1726)

LCM = 30425791756464/1726

LCM = 17627921064

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 863,936,863,157,278 is 17627921064.
