Given numbers are 7438,5598

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

The LCM of 7438,5598 is 20818962.

Find LCM of 7438,5598 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3719 x 2799 = 20818962

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7438,5598 is 20818962.

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 5598 = 41637924

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

5598 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 311, 622, 933, 1866, 2799, 5598

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7438,5598, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7438:2x 3719

5598:2x 3x 3x 311

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 = 41637924/(2x1)

LCM = 41637924/2

LCM = 20818962

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7438,5598 is 20818962.

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

• LCM of 8611, 7843
• LCM of 4824, 1117
