Given numbers are 5736,2042

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

The LCM of 5736,2042 is 5856456.

Find LCM of 5736,2042 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2868 x 1021 = 5856456

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5736,2042 is 5856456.

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.

5736 x 2042 = 11712912

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.

5736 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 239, 478, 717, 956, 1434, 1912, 2868, 5736

2042 : 1, 2, 1021, 2042

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5736,2042, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5736:2x 2x 2x 3x 239

2042:2x 1021

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 = 11712912/(2x1)

LCM = 11712912/2

LCM = 5856456

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5736,2042 is 5856456.

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

• LCM of 9512, 3445
