Given numbers are 3172,9658

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

The LCM of 3172,9658 is 15317588.

Find LCM of 3172,9658 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1586 x 4829 = 15317588

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3172,9658 is 15317588.

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.

3172 x 9658 = 30635176

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.

3172 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 61, 122, 244, 793, 1586, 3172

9658 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 439, 878, 4829, 9658

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3172,9658, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3172:2x 2x 13x 61

9658:2x 11x 439

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 = 30635176/(2x1)

LCM = 30635176/2

LCM = 15317588

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3172,9658 is 15317588.
