Given numbers are 3426,8342

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

The LCM of 3426,8342 is 14289846.

Find LCM of 3426,8342 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1713 x 4171 = 14289846

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3426,8342 is 14289846.

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.

3426 x 8342 = 28579692

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.

3426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 571, 1142, 1713, 3426

8342 : 1, 2, 43, 86, 97, 194, 4171, 8342

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3426,8342, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3426:2x 3x 571

8342:2x 43x 97

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 = 28579692/(2x1)

LCM = 28579692/2

LCM = 14289846

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3426,8342 is 14289846.

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