Given numbers are 5918,8946
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 5918,8946 is 26471214.
Find LCM of 5918,8946 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 5918, 8946 |
| 2959, 4473 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2959 x 4473 = 26471214
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5918,8946 is 26471214.
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.
5918 x 8946 = 52942428
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.
5918 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 269, 538, 2959, 5918
8946 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, 71, 126, 142, 213, 426, 497, 639, 994, 1278, 1491, 2982, 4473, 8946
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5918,8946, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
5918:2x 11x 269
8946:2x 3x 3x 7x 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 = 52942428/(2x1)
LCM = 52942428/2
LCM = 26471214
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5918,8946 is 26471214.
