Given numbers are 7388,9742

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

The LCM of 7388,9742 is 35986948.

Find LCM of 7388,9742 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3694 x 4871 = 35986948

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7388,9742 is 35986948.

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.

7388 x 9742 = 71973896

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.

7388 : 1, 2, 4, 1847, 3694, 7388

9742 : 1, 2, 4871, 9742

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7388,9742, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7388:2x 2x 1847

9742:2x 4871

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 = 71973896/(2x1)

LCM = 71973896/2

LCM = 35986948

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7388,9742 is 35986948.
