Given numbers are 7271,3157

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

The LCM of 7271,3157 is 2086777.

Find LCM of 7271,3157 with Prime Factorization

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

11 x 661 x 287 = 2086777

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7271,3157 is 2086777.

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.

7271 x 3157 = 22954547

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.

7271 : 1, 11, 661, 7271

3157 : 1, 7, 11, 41, 77, 287, 451, 3157

11 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7271,3157, is 11.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7271:11x 661

3157:7x 11x 41

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 = 22954547/(11x1)

LCM = 22954547/11

LCM = 2086777

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7271,3157 is 2086777.
