Given numbers are 6872,4484

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

The LCM of 6872,4484 is 7703512.

Find LCM of 6872,4484 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 1718 x 1121 = 7703512

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6872,4484 is 7703512.

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.

6872 x 4484 = 30814048

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.

6872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 859, 1718, 3436, 6872

4484 : 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 59, 76, 118, 236, 1121, 2242, 4484

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6872,4484, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6872:2x 2x 2x 859

4484:2x 2x 19x 59

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 = 30814048/(4x1)

LCM = 30814048/4

LCM = 7703512

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6872,4484 is 7703512.
