Given numbers are 6981,5337

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

The LCM of 6981,5337 is 12419199.

Find LCM of 6981,5337 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 2327 x 1779 = 12419199

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6981,5337 is 12419199.

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.

6981 x 5337 = 37257597

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.

6981 : 1, 3, 13, 39, 179, 537, 2327, 6981

5337 : 1, 3, 9, 593, 1779, 5337

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6981,5337, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6981:3x 13x 179

5337:3x 3x 593

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 = 37257597/(3x1)

LCM = 37257597/3

LCM = 12419199

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6981,5337 is 12419199.

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

• LCM of 6330, 8244
• LCM of 2225, 7970
