Given numbers are 6990,2338

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

The LCM of 6990,2338 is 8171310.

Find LCM of 6990,2338 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3495 x 1169 = 8171310

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 6990,2338 is 8171310.

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.

6990 x 2338 = 16342620

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.

6990 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 233, 466, 699, 1165, 1398, 2330, 3495, 6990

2338 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 167, 334, 1169, 2338

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 6990,2338, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

6990:2x 3x 5x 233

2338:2x 7x 167

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 = 16342620/(2x1)

LCM = 16342620/2

LCM = 8171310

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 6990,2338 is 8171310.

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

• LCM of 8425, 8183
• LCM of 1709, 6168
