Given numbers are 5036,8986

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

The LCM of 5036,8986 is 22626748.

Find LCM of 5036,8986 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2518 x 4493 = 22626748

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5036,8986 is 22626748.

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.

5036 x 8986 = 45253496

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.

5036 : 1, 2, 4, 1259, 2518, 5036

8986 : 1, 2, 4493, 8986

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5036,8986, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5036:2x 2x 1259

8986:2x 4493

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 = 45253496/(2x1)

LCM = 45253496/2

LCM = 22626748

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5036,8986 is 22626748.
