Given numbers are 5042,7218

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

The LCM of 5042,7218 is 18196578.

Find LCM of 5042,7218 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2521 x 3609 = 18196578

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5042,7218 is 18196578.

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.

5042 x 7218 = 36393156

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.

5042 : 1, 2, 2521, 5042

7218 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 401, 802, 1203, 2406, 3609, 7218

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5042,7218, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5042:2x 2521

7218:2x 3x 3x 401

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 = 36393156/(2x1)

LCM = 36393156/2

LCM = 18196578

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5042,7218 is 18196578.

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

• LCM of 3930, 5343
• LCM of 1992, 4585
