Given numbers are 8442,4502
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 8442,4502 is 19002942.
Find LCM of 8442,4502 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 8442, 4502 |
| 4221, 2251 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 4221 x 2251 = 19002942
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8442,4502 is 19002942.
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.
8442 x 4502 = 38005884
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.
8442 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, 67, 126, 134, 201, 402, 469, 603, 938, 1206, 1407, 2814, 4221, 8442
4502 : 1, 2, 2251, 4502
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8442,4502, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
8442:2x 3x 3x 7x 67
4502:2x 2251
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 = 38005884/(2x1)
LCM = 38005884/2
LCM = 19002942
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8442,4502 is 19002942.
