Given numbers are 3918,4972

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

The LCM of 3918,4972 is 9740148.

Find LCM of 3918,4972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 1959 x 2486 = 9740148

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3918,4972 is 9740148.

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.

3918 x 4972 = 19480296

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.

3918 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 653, 1306, 1959, 3918

4972 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 113, 226, 452, 1243, 2486, 4972

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3918,4972, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3918:2x 3x 653

4972:2x 2x 11x 113

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 = 19480296/(2x1)

LCM = 19480296/2

LCM = 9740148

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3918,4972 is 9740148.

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

• LCM of 5105, 8067
• LCM of 9535, 9132
