Given numbers are 8587,1178

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

The LCM of 8587,1178 is 326306.

Find LCM of 8587,1178 with Prime Factorization

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

31 x 277 x 38 = 326306

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8587,1178 is 326306.

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.

8587 x 1178 = 10115486

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.

8587 : 1, 31, 277, 8587

1178 : 1, 2, 19, 31, 38, 62, 589, 1178

31 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8587,1178, is 31.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8587:31x 277

1178:2x 19x 31

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 = 10115486/(31x1)

LCM = 10115486/31

LCM = 326306

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8587,1178 is 326306.
