Given numbers are 6596,1241

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

The LCM of 6596,1241 is 481508.

Find LCM of 6596,1241 with Prime Factorization

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

17 x 388 x 73 = 481508

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6596,1241 is 481508.

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.

6596 x 1241 = 8185636

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.

6596 : 1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68, 97, 194, 388, 1649, 3298, 6596

1241 : 1, 17, 73, 1241

17 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6596,1241, is 17.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6596:2x 2x 17x 97

1241:17x 73

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 = 8185636/(17x1)

LCM = 8185636/17

LCM = 481508

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6596,1241 is 481508.
