Given numbers are 3238,8504

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

The LCM of 3238,8504 is 13767976.

Find LCM of 3238,8504 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1619 x 4252 = 13767976

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3238,8504 is 13767976.

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.

3238 x 8504 = 27535952

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.

3238 : 1, 2, 1619, 3238

8504 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 1063, 2126, 4252, 8504

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3238,8504, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3238:2x 1619

8504:2x 2x 2x 1063

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 = 27535952/(2x1)

LCM = 27535952/2

LCM = 13767976

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3238,8504 is 13767976.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 2520, 8482
• LCM of 7127, 2249
