Given numbers are 7374,7142

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

The LCM of 7374,7142 is 26332554.

Find LCM of 7374,7142 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3687 x 3571 = 26332554

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7374,7142 is 26332554.

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.

7374 x 7142 = 52665108

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.

7374 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 1229, 2458, 3687, 7374

7142 : 1, 2, 3571, 7142

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7374,7142, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7374:2x 3x 1229

7142:2x 3571

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 = 52665108/(2x1)

LCM = 52665108/2

LCM = 26332554

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7374,7142 is 26332554.
