Given numbers are 5302,4238

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

The LCM of 5302,4238 is 11234938.

Find LCM of 5302,4238 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2651 x 2119 = 11234938

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5302,4238 is 11234938.

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.

5302 x 4238 = 22469876

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.

5302 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 241, 482, 2651, 5302

4238 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 163, 326, 2119, 4238

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5302,4238, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5302:2x 11x 241

4238:2x 13x 163

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 = 22469876/(2x1)

LCM = 22469876/2

LCM = 11234938

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5302,4238 is 11234938.

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

• LCM of 5889, 8370
• LCM of 6050, 6019
