Given numbers are 6862,2522

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

The LCM of 6862,2522 is 8652982.

Find LCM of 6862,2522 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3431 x 1261 = 8652982

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6862,2522 is 8652982.

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.

6862 x 2522 = 17305964

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.

6862 : 1, 2, 47, 73, 94, 146, 3431, 6862

2522 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 97, 194, 1261, 2522

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6862,2522, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6862:2x 47x 73

2522:2x 13x 97

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 = 17305964/(2x1)

LCM = 17305964/2

LCM = 8652982

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6862,2522 is 8652982.

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