Given numbers are 6964,9988

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

The LCM of 6964,9988 is 17389108.

Find LCM of 6964,9988 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 1741 x 2497 = 17389108

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6964,9988 is 17389108.

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.

6964 x 9988 = 69556432

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.

6964 : 1, 2, 4, 1741, 3482, 6964

9988 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 227, 454, 908, 2497, 4994, 9988

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6964,9988, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6964:2x 2x 1741

9988:2x 2x 11x 227

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 = 69556432/(4x1)

LCM = 69556432/4

LCM = 17389108

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6964,9988 is 17389108.

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

• LCM of 6761, 9571
