Given numbers are 5526,7988

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

The LCM of 5526,7988 is 22070844.

Find LCM of 5526,7988 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2763 x 3994 = 22070844

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5526,7988 is 22070844.

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.

5526 x 7988 = 44141688

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.

5526 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 307, 614, 921, 1842, 2763, 5526

7988 : 1, 2, 4, 1997, 3994, 7988

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5526,7988, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5526:2x 3x 3x 307

7988:2x 2x 1997

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 = 44141688/(2x1)

LCM = 44141688/2

LCM = 22070844

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5526,7988 is 22070844.

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

• LCM of 1982, 8960
• LCM of 5421, 8174
