Given numbers are 3182,8987

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

The LCM of 3182,8987 is 665038.

Find LCM of 3182,8987 with Prime Factorization

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

43 x 74 x 209 = 665038

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3182,8987 is 665038.

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.

3182 x 8987 = 28596634

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.

3182 : 1, 2, 37, 43, 74, 86, 1591, 3182

8987 : 1, 11, 19, 43, 209, 473, 817, 8987

43 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3182,8987, is 43.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3182:2x 37x 43

8987:11x 19x 43

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 = 28596634/(43x1)

LCM = 28596634/43

LCM = 665038

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3182,8987 is 665038.
