Given numbers are 8518,2008

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

The LCM of 8518,2008 is 8552072.

Find LCM of 8518,2008 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4259 x 1004 = 8552072

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8518,2008 is 8552072.

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.

8518 x 2008 = 17104144

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.

8518 : 1, 2, 4259, 8518

2008 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 251, 502, 1004, 2008

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8518,2008, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8518:2x 4259

2008:2x 2x 2x 251

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 = 17104144/(2x1)

LCM = 17104144/2

LCM = 8552072

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8518,2008 is 8552072.

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

• LCM of 5807, 1444
• LCM of 9598, 4334
