Given numbers are 3237,8697

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

The LCM of 3237,8697 is 721851.

Find LCM of 3237,8697 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 13 x 83 x 223 = 721851

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3237,8697 is 721851.

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.

3237 x 8697 = 28152189

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.

3237 : 1, 3, 13, 39, 83, 249, 1079, 3237

8697 : 1, 3, 13, 39, 223, 669, 2899, 8697

39 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3237,8697, is 39.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3237:3x 13x 83

8697:3x 13x 223

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 = 28152189/(39x1)

LCM = 28152189/39

LCM = 721851

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3237,8697 is 721851.
