Given numbers are 8396,1562

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

The LCM of 8396,1562 is 6557276.

Find LCM of 8396,1562 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4198 x 781 = 6557276

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8396,1562 is 6557276.

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.

8396 x 1562 = 13114552

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.

8396 : 1, 2, 4, 2099, 4198, 8396

1562 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 71, 142, 781, 1562

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8396,1562, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8396:2x 2x 2099

1562:2x 11x 71

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 = 13114552/(2x1)

LCM = 13114552/2

LCM = 6557276

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8396,1562 is 6557276.

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

• LCM of 7955, 2094
