Given numbers are 5948,5262

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

The LCM of 5948,5262 is 15649188.

Find LCM of 5948,5262 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2974 x 2631 = 15649188

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5948,5262 is 15649188.

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.

5948 x 5262 = 31298376

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.

5948 : 1, 2, 4, 1487, 2974, 5948

5262 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 877, 1754, 2631, 5262

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5948,5262, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5948:2x 2x 1487

5262:2x 3x 877

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 = 31298376/(2x1)

LCM = 31298376/2

LCM = 15649188

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5948,5262 is 15649188.

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

• LCM of 3644, 8791
