Given numbers are 2578,2686

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

The LCM of 2578,2686 is 3462254.

Find LCM of 2578,2686 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1289 x 1343 = 3462254

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2578,2686 is 3462254.

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.

2578 x 2686 = 6924508

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.

2578 : 1, 2, 1289, 2578

2686 : 1, 2, 17, 34, 79, 158, 1343, 2686

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2578,2686, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2578:2x 1289

2686:2x 17x 79

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 = 6924508/(2x1)

LCM = 6924508/2

LCM = 3462254

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2578,2686 is 3462254.
