Given numbers are 3173,8949

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

The LCM of 3173,8949 is 1494483.

Find LCM of 3173,8949 with Prime Factorization

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

19 x 167 x 471 = 1494483

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3173,8949 is 1494483.

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.

3173 x 8949 = 28395177

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.

3173 : 1, 19, 167, 3173

8949 : 1, 3, 19, 57, 157, 471, 2983, 8949

19 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3173,8949, is 19.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3173:19x 167

8949:3x 19x 157

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 = 28395177/(19x1)

LCM = 28395177/19

LCM = 1494483

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3173,8949 is 1494483.
