Given numbers are 4492,3238

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

The LCM of 4492,3238 is 7272548.

Find LCM of 4492,3238 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2246 x 1619 = 7272548

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 4492,3238 is 7272548.

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.

4492 x 3238 = 14545096

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.

4492 : 1, 2, 4, 1123, 2246, 4492

3238 : 1, 2, 1619, 3238

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 4492,3238, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

4492:2x 2x 1123

3238:2x 1619

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 = 14545096/(2x1)

LCM = 14545096/2

LCM = 7272548

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 4492,3238 is 7272548.
