Given numbers are 3188,2472

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

The LCM of 3188,2472 is 1970184.

Find LCM of 3188,2472 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 797 x 618 = 1970184

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3188,2472 is 1970184.

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.

3188 x 2472 = 7880736

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.

3188 : 1, 2, 4, 797, 1594, 3188

2472 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 103, 206, 309, 412, 618, 824, 1236, 2472

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3188,2472, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3188:2x 2x 797

2472:2x 2x 2x 3x 103

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 = 7880736/(4x1)

LCM = 7880736/4

LCM = 1970184

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3188,2472 is 1970184.
