Given numbers are 1244,2978

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

The LCM of 1244,2978 is 1852316.

Find LCM of 1244,2978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 622 x 1489 = 1852316

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 1244,2978 is 1852316.

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.

1244 x 2978 = 3704632

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.

1244 : 1, 2, 4, 311, 622, 1244

2978 : 1, 2, 1489, 2978

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 1244,2978, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

1244:2x 2x 311

2978:2x 1489

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 = 3704632/(2x1)

LCM = 3704632/2

LCM = 1852316

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 1244,2978 is 1852316.
