Given numbers are 1502,1178

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

The LCM of 1502,1178 is 884678.

Find LCM of 1502,1178 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 751 x 589 = 884678

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 1502,1178 is 884678.

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.

1502 x 1178 = 1769356

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.

1502 : 1, 2, 751, 1502

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

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 1502,1178, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

1502:2x 751

1178:2x 19x 31

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 = 1769356/(2x1)

LCM = 1769356/2

LCM = 884678

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 1502,1178 is 884678.
