Given numbers are 3642,9466

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

The LCM of 3642,9466 is 17237586.

Find LCM of 3642,9466 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1821 x 4733 = 17237586

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3642,9466 is 17237586.

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.

3642 x 9466 = 34475172

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.

3642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 607, 1214, 1821, 3642

9466 : 1, 2, 4733, 9466

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3642,9466, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3642:2x 3x 607

9466:2x 4733

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 = 34475172/(2x1)

LCM = 34475172/2

LCM = 17237586

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3642,9466 is 17237586.
