Given numbers are 6842,2488

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

The LCM of 6842,2488 is 27368.

Find LCM of 6842,2488 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 311 x 11 x 4 = 27368

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6842,2488 is 27368.

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.

6842 x 2488 = 17022896

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.

6842 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 311, 622, 3421, 6842

2488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 311, 622, 1244, 2488

622 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6842,2488, is 622.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6842:2x 11x 311

2488:2x 2x 2x 311

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 = 17022896/(622x1)

LCM = 17022896/622

LCM = 27368

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6842,2488 is 27368.
