Given numbers are 8462,9732

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

The LCM of 8462,9732 is 41176092.

Find LCM of 8462,9732 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4231 x 4866 = 41176092

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8462,9732 is 41176092.

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 9732 = 82352184

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

9732 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 811, 1622, 2433, 3244, 4866, 9732

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8462,9732, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8462:2x 4231

9732:2x 2x 3x 811

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 = 82352184/(2x1)

LCM = 82352184/2

LCM = 41176092

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8462,9732 is 41176092.

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

• LCM of 5645, 2771
• LCM of 5926, 3187
