Given numbers are 8478,9903

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

The LCM of 8478,9903 is 27985878.

Find LCM of 8478,9903 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 2826 x 3301 = 27985878

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8478,9903 is 27985878.

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.

8478 x 9903 = 83957634

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.

8478 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 157, 314, 471, 942, 1413, 2826, 4239, 8478

9903 : 1, 3, 3301, 9903

3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8478,9903, is 3.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8478:2x 3x 3x 3x 157

9903:3x 3301

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 = 83957634/(3x1)

LCM = 83957634/3

LCM = 27985878

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8478,9903 is 27985878.

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

• LCM of 6379, 4577
