Given numbers are 5238,8842

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

The LCM of 5238,8842 is 23157198.

Find LCM of 5238,8842 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2619 x 4421 = 23157198

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5238,8842 is 23157198.

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.

5238 x 8842 = 46314396

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.

5238 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 97, 194, 291, 582, 873, 1746, 2619, 5238

8842 : 1, 2, 4421, 8842

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5238,8842, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5238:2x 3x 3x 3x 97

8842:2x 4421

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 = 46314396/(2x1)

LCM = 46314396/2

LCM = 23157198

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5238,8842 is 23157198.

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

• LCM of 5661, 1178
• LCM of 6848, 3295
