Given numbers are 7974,8606

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

The LCM of 7974,8606 is 34312122.

Find LCM of 7974,8606 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3987 x 4303 = 34312122

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7974,8606 is 34312122.

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.

7974 x 8606 = 68624244

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.

7974 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 443, 886, 1329, 2658, 3987, 7974

8606 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 331, 662, 4303, 8606

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7974,8606, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7974:2x 3x 3x 443

8606:2x 13x 331

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 = 68624244/(2x1)

LCM = 68624244/2

LCM = 34312122

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7974,8606 is 34312122.

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

• LCM of 4129, 8012
