Given numbers are 4542,7204

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

The LCM of 4542,7204 is 16360284.

Find LCM of 4542,7204 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2271 x 3602 = 16360284

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 4542,7204 is 16360284.

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.

4542 x 7204 = 32720568

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.

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

7204 : 1, 2, 4, 1801, 3602, 7204

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 4542,7204, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

4542:2x 3x 757

7204:2x 2x 1801

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 = 32720568/(2x1)

LCM = 32720568/2

LCM = 16360284

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 4542,7204 is 16360284.

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