Given numbers are 7218,9897

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

The LCM of 7218,9897 is 23812182.

Find LCM of 7218,9897 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 2406 x 3299 = 23812182

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7218,9897 is 23812182.

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.

7218 x 9897 = 71436546

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.

7218 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 401, 802, 1203, 2406, 3609, 7218

9897 : 1, 3, 3299, 9897

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7218,9897, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7218:2x 3x 3x 401

9897:3x 3299

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 = 71436546/(3x1)

LCM = 71436546/3

LCM = 23812182

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7218,9897 is 23812182.

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

• LCM of 9674, 6701
• LCM of 6207, 9205
