Given numbers are 36,7972

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

The LCM of 36,7972 is 71748.

Find LCM of 36,7972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 9 x 1993 = 71748

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 36,7972 is 71748.

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.

36 x 7972 = 286992

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.

36 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

7972 : 1, 2, 4, 1993, 3986, 7972

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 36,7972, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

36:2x 2x 3x 3

7972:2x 2x 1993

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 = 286992/(4x1)

LCM = 286992/4

LCM = 71748

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 36,7972 is 71748.
