Given numbers are 2374,4472

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

The LCM of 2374,4472 is 5308264.

Find LCM of 2374,4472 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1187 x 2236 = 5308264

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2374,4472 is 5308264.

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.

2374 x 4472 = 10616528

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.

2374 : 1, 2, 1187, 2374

4472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 43, 52, 86, 104, 172, 344, 559, 1118, 2236, 4472

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2374,4472, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2374:2x 1187

4472:2x 2x 2x 13x 43

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 = 10616528/(2x1)

LCM = 10616528/2

LCM = 5308264

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2374,4472 is 5308264.

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

• LCM of 3893, 4395
• LCM of 1847, 3137
