Given numbers are 4742,5974

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

The LCM of 4742,5974 is 14164354.

Find LCM of 4742,5974 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2371 x 2987 = 14164354

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 4742,5974 is 14164354.

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.

4742 x 5974 = 28328708

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.

4742 : 1, 2, 2371, 4742

5974 : 1, 2, 29, 58, 103, 206, 2987, 5974

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 4742,5974, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

4742:2x 2371

5974:2x 29x 103

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 = 28328708/(2x1)

LCM = 28328708/2

LCM = 14164354

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 4742,5974 is 14164354.
