Given numbers are 8522,4388

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

The LCM of 8522,4388 is 18697268.

Find LCM of 8522,4388 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4261 x 2194 = 18697268

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8522,4388 is 18697268.

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.

8522 x 4388 = 37394536

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.

8522 : 1, 2, 4261, 8522

4388 : 1, 2, 4, 1097, 2194, 4388

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8522,4388, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8522:2x 4261

4388:2x 2x 1097

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 = 37394536/(2x1)

LCM = 37394536/2

LCM = 18697268

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8522,4388 is 18697268.
