Given numbers are 7438,3298

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

The LCM of 7438,3298 is 12265262.

Find LCM of 7438,3298 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3719 x 1649 = 12265262

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7438,3298 is 12265262.

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.

7438 x 3298 = 24530524

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.

7438 : 1, 2, 3719, 7438

3298 : 1, 2, 17, 34, 97, 194, 1649, 3298

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7438,3298, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7438:2x 3719

3298:2x 17x 97

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 = 24530524/(2x1)

LCM = 24530524/2

LCM = 12265262

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7438,3298 is 12265262.
