Given numbers are 2642,5302

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

The LCM of 2642,5302 is 7003942.

Find LCM of 2642,5302 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1321 x 2651 = 7003942

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2642,5302 is 7003942.

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.

2642 x 5302 = 14007884

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.

2642 : 1, 2, 1321, 2642

5302 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 241, 482, 2651, 5302

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2642,5302, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2642:2x 1321

5302:2x 11x 241

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 = 14007884/(2x1)

LCM = 14007884/2

LCM = 7003942

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2642,5302 is 7003942.
