Given numbers are 2578,9964

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

The LCM of 2578,9964 is 12843596.

Find LCM of 2578,9964 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1289 x 4982 = 12843596

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2578,9964 is 12843596.

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 9964 = 25687192

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

9964 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 53, 94, 106, 188, 212, 2491, 4982, 9964

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2578,9964, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2578:2x 1289

9964:2x 2x 47x 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 = 25687192/(2x1)

LCM = 25687192/2

LCM = 12843596

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2578,9964 is 12843596.

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

• LCM of 7910, 8869
• LCM of 8497, 8801
