Given numbers are 5538,9656
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 5538,9656 is 376584.
Find LCM of 5538,9656 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 5538, 9656 |
| 71 | 2769, 4828 |
| 39, 68 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 71 x 39 x 68 = 376584
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5538,9656 is 376584.
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.
5538 x 9656 = 53474928
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.
5538 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 71, 78, 142, 213, 426, 923, 1846, 2769, 5538
9656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, 71, 136, 142, 284, 568, 1207, 2414, 4828, 9656
142 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5538,9656, is 142.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
5538:2x 3x 13x 71
9656:2x 2x 2x 17x 71
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 = 53474928/(142x1)
LCM = 53474928/142
LCM = 376584
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5538,9656 is 376584.
