Given numbers are 4638,2979

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

The LCM of 4638,2979 is 4605534.

Find LCM of 4638,2979 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 1546 x 993 = 4605534

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 4638,2979 is 4605534.

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.

4638 x 2979 = 13816602

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.

4638 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 773, 1546, 2319, 4638

2979 : 1, 3, 9, 331, 993, 2979

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 4638,2979, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

4638:2x 3x 773

2979:3x 3x 331

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 = 13816602/(3x1)

LCM = 13816602/3

LCM = 4605534

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 4638,2979 is 4605534.
