Given numbers are 2886,3742

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

The LCM of 2886,3742 is 5399706.

Find LCM of 2886,3742 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1443 x 1871 = 5399706

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2886,3742 is 5399706.

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.

2886 x 3742 = 10799412

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.

2886 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 37, 39, 74, 78, 111, 222, 481, 962, 1443, 2886

3742 : 1, 2, 1871, 3742

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2886,3742, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2886:2x 3x 13x 37

3742:2x 1871

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 = 10799412/(2x1)

LCM = 10799412/2

LCM = 5399706

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2886,3742 is 5399706.
