Given numbers are 7181,8686

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

The LCM of 7181,8686 is 1450562.

Find LCM of 7181,8686 with Prime Factorization

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

43 x 167 x 202 = 1450562

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7181,8686 is 1450562.

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.

7181 x 8686 = 62374166

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.

7181 : 1, 43, 167, 7181

8686 : 1, 2, 43, 86, 101, 202, 4343, 8686

43 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7181,8686, is 43.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7181:43x 167

8686:2x 43x 101

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 = 62374166/(43x1)

LCM = 62374166/43

LCM = 1450562

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7181,8686 is 1450562.
