Given numbers are 8517,9231

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

The LCM of 8517,9231 is 1541577.

Find LCM of 8517,9231 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 17 x 167 x 181 = 1541577

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8517,9231 is 1541577.

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.

8517 x 9231 = 78620427

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.

8517 : 1, 3, 17, 51, 167, 501, 2839, 8517

9231 : 1, 3, 17, 51, 181, 543, 3077, 9231

51 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8517,9231, is 51.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8517:3x 17x 167

9231:3x 17x 181

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 = 78620427/(51x1)

LCM = 78620427/51

LCM = 1541577

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8517,9231 is 1541577.
