Given numbers are 3979,1173

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

The LCM of 3979,1173 is 202929.

Find LCM of 3979,1173 with Prime Factorization

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

23 x 173 x 51 = 202929

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3979,1173 is 202929.

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.

3979 x 1173 = 4667367

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.

3979 : 1, 23, 173, 3979

1173 : 1, 3, 17, 23, 51, 69, 391, 1173

23 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3979,1173, is 23.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3979:23x 173

1173:3x 17x 23

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 = 4667367/(23x1)

LCM = 4667367/23

LCM = 202929

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3979,1173 is 202929.
