Given numbers are 6142,2284

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

The LCM of 6142,2284 is 7014164.

Find LCM of 6142,2284 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3071 x 1142 = 7014164

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6142,2284 is 7014164.

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.

6142 x 2284 = 14028328

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.

6142 : 1, 2, 37, 74, 83, 166, 3071, 6142

2284 : 1, 2, 4, 571, 1142, 2284

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6142,2284, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6142:2x 37x 83

2284:2x 2x 571

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 = 14028328/(2x1)

LCM = 14028328/2

LCM = 7014164

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6142,2284 is 7014164.
