Given numbers are 5162,2246

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

The LCM of 5162,2246 is 5796926.

Find LCM of 5162,2246 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2581 x 1123 = 5796926

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5162,2246 is 5796926.

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.

5162 x 2246 = 11593852

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.

5162 : 1, 2, 29, 58, 89, 178, 2581, 5162

2246 : 1, 2, 1123, 2246

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5162,2246, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5162:2x 29x 89

2246:2x 1123

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 = 11593852/(2x1)

LCM = 11593852/2

LCM = 5796926

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5162,2246 is 5796926.

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

• LCM of 7366, 7412
