Given numbers are 7206,8601

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

The LCM of 7206,8601 is 20659602.

Find LCM of 7206,8601 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 2402 x 2867 = 20659602

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7206,8601 is 20659602.

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.

7206 x 8601 = 61978806

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.

7206 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 1201, 2402, 3603, 7206

8601 : 1, 3, 47, 61, 141, 183, 2867, 8601

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7206,8601, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7206:2x 3x 1201

8601:3x 47x 61

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 = 61978806/(3x1)

LCM = 61978806/3

LCM = 20659602

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7206,8601 is 20659602.

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

• LCM of 5355, 5430
• LCM of 2689, 7032
