Given numbers are 2882,8686

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

The LCM of 2882,8686 is 12516526.

Find LCM of 2882,8686 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1441 x 4343 = 12516526

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2882,8686 is 12516526.

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.

2882 x 8686 = 25033052

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.

2882 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 131, 262, 1441, 2882

8686 : 1, 2, 43, 86, 101, 202, 4343, 8686

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2882,8686, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2882:2x 11x 131

8686:2x 43x 101

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 = 25033052/(2x1)

LCM = 25033052/2

LCM = 12516526

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2882,8686 is 12516526.

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

• LCM of 2089, 2297
