Given numbers are 3997,9716

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

The LCM of 3997,9716 is 5547836.

Find LCM of 3997,9716 with Prime Factorization

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

7 x 571 x 1388 = 5547836

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3997,9716 is 5547836.

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.

3997 x 9716 = 38834852

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.

3997 : 1, 7, 571, 3997

9716 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 347, 694, 1388, 2429, 4858, 9716

7 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3997,9716, is 7.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

3997:7x 571

9716:2x 2x 7x 347

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 = 38834852/(7x1)

LCM = 38834852/7

LCM = 5547836

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3997,9716 is 5547836.

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

• LCM of 6296, 6147
• LCM of 7770, 2665
