Given numbers are 4202,5972

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

The LCM of 4202,5972 is 12547172.

Find LCM of 4202,5972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2101 x 2986 = 12547172

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 4202,5972 is 12547172.

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.

4202 x 5972 = 25094344

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.

4202 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 191, 382, 2101, 4202

5972 : 1, 2, 4, 1493, 2986, 5972

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 4202,5972, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

4202:2x 11x 191

5972:2x 2x 1493

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 = 25094344/(2x1)

LCM = 25094344/2

LCM = 12547172

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 4202,5972 is 12547172.

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

• LCM of 9206, 1146
