Given numbers are 8548,7972

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

The LCM of 8548,7972 is 17036164.

Find LCM of 8548,7972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2137 x 1993 = 17036164

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8548,7972 is 17036164.

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.

8548 x 7972 = 68144656

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.

8548 : 1, 2, 4, 2137, 4274, 8548

7972 : 1, 2, 4, 1993, 3986, 7972

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8548,7972, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8548:2x 2x 2137

7972:2x 2x 1993

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 = 68144656/(4x1)

LCM = 68144656/4

LCM = 17036164

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8548,7972 is 17036164.

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

• LCM of 6994, 2933
• LCM of 9172, 8735
