Given numbers are 1178,8634

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

The LCM of 1178,8634 is 5085426.

Find LCM of 1178,8634 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 589 x 4317 = 5085426

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 1178,8634 is 5085426.

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.

1178 x 8634 = 10170852

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.

1178 : 1, 2, 19, 31, 38, 62, 589, 1178

8634 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 1439, 2878, 4317, 8634

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 1178,8634, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

1178:2x 19x 31

8634:2x 3x 1439

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

= 1

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1.

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 = 10170852/(2x1)

LCM = 10170852/2

LCM = 5085426

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 1178,8634 is 5085426.

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

• LCM of 4431, 2154
• LCM of 8406, 9172
