Given numbers are 8344,3442

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

The LCM of 8344,3442 is 14360024.

Find LCM of 8344,3442 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4172 x 1721 = 14360024

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8344,3442 is 14360024.

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.

8344 x 3442 = 28720048

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.

8344 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56, 149, 298, 596, 1043, 1192, 2086, 4172, 8344

3442 : 1, 2, 1721, 3442

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8344,3442, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8344:2x 2x 2x 7x 149

3442:2x 1721

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 = 28720048/(2x1)

LCM = 28720048/2

LCM = 14360024

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8344,3442 is 14360024.

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

• LCM of 8069, 7864
