Given numbers are 8257,8993

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

The LCM of 8257,8993 is 3228487.

Find LCM of 8257,8993 with Prime Factorization

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

23 x 359 x 391 = 3228487

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8257,8993 is 3228487.

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.

8257 x 8993 = 74255201

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.

8257 : 1, 23, 359, 8257

8993 : 1, 17, 23, 391, 529, 8993

23 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8257,8993, is 23.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8257:23x 359

8993:17x 23x 23

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 = 74255201/(23x1)

LCM = 74255201/23

LCM = 3228487

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8257,8993 is 3228487.
