Given numbers are 7996,7046

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

The LCM of 7996,7046 is 28169908.

Find LCM of 7996,7046 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3998 x 3523 = 28169908

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 7996,7046 is 28169908.

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.

7996 x 7046 = 56339816

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.

7996 : 1, 2, 4, 1999, 3998, 7996

7046 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 271, 542, 3523, 7046

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 7996,7046, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

7996:2x 2x 1999

7046:2x 13x 271

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 = 56339816/(2x1)

LCM = 56339816/2

LCM = 28169908

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 7996,7046 is 28169908.

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

• LCM of 6789, 5360
