Given numbers are 6294,5542

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

The LCM of 6294,5542 is 17440674.

Find LCM of 6294,5542 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3147 x 2771 = 17440674

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6294,5542 is 17440674.

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.

6294 x 5542 = 34881348

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.

6294 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 1049, 2098, 3147, 6294

5542 : 1, 2, 17, 34, 163, 326, 2771, 5542

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6294,5542, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6294:2x 3x 1049

5542:2x 17x 163

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 = 34881348/(2x1)

LCM = 34881348/2

LCM = 17440674

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6294,5542 is 17440674.

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

• LCM of 2937, 3328
• LCM of 1218, 8239
