Given numbers are 5715,6987

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

The LCM of 5715,6987 is 13310235.

Find LCM of 5715,6987 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 1905 x 2329 = 13310235

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5715,6987 is 13310235.

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.

5715 x 6987 = 39930705

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.

5715 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45, 127, 381, 635, 1143, 1905, 5715

6987 : 1, 3, 17, 51, 137, 411, 2329, 6987

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5715,6987, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5715:3x 3x 5x 127

6987:3x 17x 137

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 = 39930705/(3x1)

LCM = 39930705/3

LCM = 13310235

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5715,6987 is 13310235.

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

• LCM of 1949, 4866
• LCM of 8851, 2262
