Given numbers are 2986,9308

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

The LCM of 2986,9308 is 13896844.

Find LCM of 2986,9308 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1493 x 4654 = 13896844

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2986,9308 is 13896844.

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.

2986 x 9308 = 27793688

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.

2986 : 1, 2, 1493, 2986

9308 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 179, 358, 716, 2327, 4654, 9308

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2986,9308, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

2986:2x 1493

9308:2x 2x 13x 179

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 = 27793688/(2x1)

LCM = 27793688/2

LCM = 13896844

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2986,9308 is 13896844.

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

• LCM of 8674, 7130
• LCM of 9612, 7164
