Given numbers are 2942,1776

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

The LCM of 2942,1776 is 2612496.

Find LCM of 2942,1776 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1471 x 888 = 2612496

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2942,1776 is 2612496.

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.

2942 x 1776 = 5224992

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.

2942 : 1, 2, 1471, 2942

1776 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 37, 48, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, 444, 592, 888, 1776

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2942,1776, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2942:2x 1471

1776:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 37

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 = 5224992/(2x1)

LCM = 5224992/2

LCM = 2612496

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2942,1776 is 2612496.

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

• LCM of 8193, 5535
