Given numbers are 2979,9717

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

The LCM of 2979,9717 is 9648981.

Find LCM of 2979,9717 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 993 x 3239 = 9648981

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2979,9717 is 9648981.

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.

2979 x 9717 = 28946943

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.

2979 : 1, 3, 9, 331, 993, 2979

9717 : 1, 3, 41, 79, 123, 237, 3239, 9717

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2979,9717, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2979:3x 3x 331

9717:3x 41x 79

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 = 28946943/(3x1)

LCM = 28946943/3

LCM = 9648981

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2979,9717 is 9648981.
