Given numbers are 5549,8950

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

The LCM of 5549,8950 is 277450.

Find LCM of 5549,8950 with Prime Factorization

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

179 x 31 x 50 = 277450

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5549,8950 is 277450.

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.

5549 x 8950 = 49663550

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.

5549 : 1, 31, 179, 5549

8950 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 179, 358, 895, 1790, 4475, 8950

179 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5549,8950, is 179.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5549:31x 179

8950:2x 5x 5x 179

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 = 49663550/(179x1)

LCM = 49663550/179

LCM = 277450

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5549,8950 is 277450.
