Given numbers are 3442,4978

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

The LCM of 3442,4978 is 8567138.

Find LCM of 3442,4978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1721 x 2489 = 8567138

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3442,4978 is 8567138.

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.

3442 x 4978 = 17134276

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.

3442 : 1, 2, 1721, 3442

4978 : 1, 2, 19, 38, 131, 262, 2489, 4978

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3442,4978, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3442:2x 1721

4978:2x 19x 131

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 = 17134276/(2x1)

LCM = 17134276/2

LCM = 8567138

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3442,4978 is 8567138.

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

• LCM of 3510, 3919
