Given numbers are 8462,9376

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

The LCM of 8462,9376 is 39669856.

Find LCM of 8462,9376 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4231 x 4688 = 39669856

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8462,9376 is 39669856.

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.

8462 x 9376 = 79339712

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.

8462 : 1, 2, 4231, 8462

9376 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 293, 586, 1172, 2344, 4688, 9376

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8462,9376, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8462:2x 4231

9376:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 293

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 = 79339712/(2x1)

LCM = 79339712/2

LCM = 39669856

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8462,9376 is 39669856.

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

• LCM of 2618, 6703
• LCM of 7487, 9754
