Given numbers are 5384,5972

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

The LCM of 5384,5972 is 8038312.

Find LCM of 5384,5972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 1346 x 1493 = 8038312

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5384,5972 is 8038312.

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.

5384 x 5972 = 32153248

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.

5384 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 673, 1346, 2692, 5384

5972 : 1, 2, 4, 1493, 2986, 5972

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5384,5972, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5384:2x 2x 2x 673

5972:2x 2x 1493

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 = 32153248/(4x1)

LCM = 32153248/4

LCM = 8038312

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5384,5972 is 8038312.

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

• LCM of 7652, 2294
