Given numbers are 6238,8982

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

The LCM of 6238,8982 is 28014858.

Find LCM of 6238,8982 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3119 x 4491 = 28014858

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6238,8982 is 28014858.

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.

6238 x 8982 = 56029716

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.

6238 : 1, 2, 3119, 6238

8982 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 499, 998, 1497, 2994, 4491, 8982

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6238,8982, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6238:2x 3119

8982:2x 3x 3x 499

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 = 56029716/(2x1)

LCM = 56029716/2

LCM = 28014858

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6238,8982 is 28014858.

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

• LCM of 3143, 5416
• LCM of 9493, 4593
