Given numbers are 7208,9979

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

The LCM of 7208,9979 is 4231096.

Find LCM of 7208,9979 with Prime Factorization

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

17 x 424 x 587 = 4231096

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7208,9979 is 4231096.

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.

7208 x 9979 = 71928632

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.

7208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 53, 68, 106, 136, 212, 424, 901, 1802, 3604, 7208

9979 : 1, 17, 587, 9979

17 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7208,9979, is 17.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7208:2x 2x 2x 17x 53

9979:17x 587

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 = 71928632/(17x1)

LCM = 71928632/17

LCM = 4231096

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7208,9979 is 4231096.

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

• LCM of 8338, 9674
