Given numbers are 7491,5991

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

The LCM of 7491,5991 is 14959527.

Find LCM of 7491,5991 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 2497 x 1997 = 14959527

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7491,5991 is 14959527.

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.

7491 x 5991 = 44878581

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.

7491 : 1, 3, 11, 33, 227, 681, 2497, 7491

5991 : 1, 3, 1997, 5991

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7491,5991, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7491:3x 11x 227

5991:3x 1997

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 = 44878581/(3x1)

LCM = 44878581/3

LCM = 14959527

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7491,5991 is 14959527.
