Given numbers are 7228,5996

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

The LCM of 7228,5996 is 10834772.

Find LCM of 7228,5996 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 1807 x 1499 = 10834772

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7228,5996 is 10834772.

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.

7228 x 5996 = 43339088

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.

7228 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 139, 278, 556, 1807, 3614, 7228

5996 : 1, 2, 4, 1499, 2998, 5996

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7228,5996, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7228:2x 2x 13x 139

5996:2x 2x 1499

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 = 43339088/(4x1)

LCM = 43339088/4

LCM = 10834772

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7228,5996 is 10834772.

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

• LCM of 4557, 4431
• LCM of 1485, 3316
