Given numbers are 4228,4542

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

The LCM of 4228,4542 is 9601788.

Find LCM of 4228,4542 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2114 x 2271 = 9601788

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 4228,4542 is 9601788.

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.

4228 x 4542 = 19203576

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.

4228 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 151, 302, 604, 1057, 2114, 4228

4542 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 757, 1514, 2271, 4542

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 4228,4542, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

4228:2x 2x 7x 151

4542:2x 3x 757

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 = 19203576/(2x1)

LCM = 19203576/2

LCM = 9601788

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 4228,4542 is 9601788.

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

• LCM of 5966, 5498
