Given numbers are 8538,8936

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

The LCM of 8538,8936 is 38147784.

Find LCM of 8538,8936 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4269 x 4468 = 38147784

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8538,8936 is 38147784.

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.

8538 x 8936 = 76295568

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.

8538 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 1423, 2846, 4269, 8538

8936 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 1117, 2234, 4468, 8936

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8538,8936, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8538:2x 3x 1423

8936:2x 2x 2x 1117

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 = 76295568/(2x1)

LCM = 76295568/2

LCM = 38147784

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8538,8936 is 38147784.

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

• LCM of 4630, 5547
• LCM of 1450, 4198
