Given numbers are 5158,6142

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

The LCM of 5158,6142 is 15840218.

Find LCM of 5158,6142 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2579 x 3071 = 15840218

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5158,6142 is 15840218.

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.

5158 x 6142 = 31680436

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.

5158 : 1, 2, 2579, 5158

6142 : 1, 2, 37, 74, 83, 166, 3071, 6142

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5158,6142, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5158:2x 2579

6142:2x 37x 83

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 = 31680436/(2x1)

LCM = 31680436/2

LCM = 15840218

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5158,6142 is 15840218.
