Given numbers are 1522,1696

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

The LCM of 1522,1696 is 1290656.

Find LCM of 1522,1696 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 761 x 848 = 1290656

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 1522,1696 is 1290656.

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.

1522 x 1696 = 2581312

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.

1522 : 1, 2, 761, 1522

1696 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 53, 106, 212, 424, 848, 1696

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 1522,1696, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

1522:2x 761

1696:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 53

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 = 2581312/(2x1)

LCM = 2581312/2

LCM = 1290656

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 1522,1696 is 1290656.

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