Given numbers are 3298,8872

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

The LCM of 3298,8872 is 14629928.

Find LCM of 3298,8872 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1649 x 4436 = 14629928

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3298,8872 is 14629928.

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.

3298 x 8872 = 29259856

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.

3298 : 1, 2, 17, 34, 97, 194, 1649, 3298

8872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 1109, 2218, 4436, 8872

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3298,8872, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3298:2x 17x 97

8872:2x 2x 2x 1109

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 = 29259856/(2x1)

LCM = 29259856/2

LCM = 14629928

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3298,8872 is 14629928.

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

• LCM of 5607, 7360
• LCM of 5238, 5762
