Given numbers are 8606,5972

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

The LCM of 8606,5972 is 25697516.

Find LCM of 8606,5972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4303 x 2986 = 25697516

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8606,5972 is 25697516.

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.

8606 x 5972 = 51395032

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.

8606 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 331, 662, 4303, 8606

5972 : 1, 2, 4, 1493, 2986, 5972

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8606,5972, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8606:2x 13x 331

5972:2x 2x 1493

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 = 51395032/(2x1)

LCM = 51395032/2

LCM = 25697516

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8606,5972 is 25697516.

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

• LCM of 2792, 4272
