Given numbers are 5062,7242

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

The LCM of 5062,7242 is 18329502.

Find LCM of 5062,7242 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2531 x 3621 = 18329502

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5062,7242 is 18329502.

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.

5062 x 7242 = 36659004

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.

5062 : 1, 2, 2531, 5062

7242 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 17, 34, 51, 71, 102, 142, 213, 426, 1207, 2414, 3621, 7242

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5062,7242, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5062:2x 2531

7242:2x 3x 17x 71

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 = 36659004/(2x1)

LCM = 36659004/2

LCM = 18329502

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5062,7242 is 18329502.
