Given numbers are 8488,4174

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

The LCM of 8488,4174 is 17714456.

Find LCM of 8488,4174 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4244 x 2087 = 17714456

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8488,4174 is 17714456.

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.

8488 x 4174 = 35428912

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.

8488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 1061, 2122, 4244, 8488

4174 : 1, 2, 2087, 4174

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8488,4174, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8488:2x 2x 2x 1061

4174:2x 2087

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 = 35428912/(2x1)

LCM = 35428912/2

LCM = 17714456

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8488,4174 is 17714456.
