Given numbers are 5991,8046

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

The LCM of 5991,8046 is 16067862.

Find LCM of 5991,8046 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 1997 x 2682 = 16067862

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5991,8046 is 16067862.

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.

5991 x 8046 = 48203586

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.

5991 : 1, 3, 1997, 5991

8046 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 149, 298, 447, 894, 1341, 2682, 4023, 8046

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5991,8046, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5991:3x 1997

8046:2x 3x 3x 3x 149

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 = 48203586/(3x1)

LCM = 48203586/3

LCM = 16067862

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5991,8046 is 16067862.

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

• LCM of 8437, 4871
• LCM of 9526, 1256
