Given numbers are 8678,5532

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

The LCM of 8678,5532 is 24003348.

Find LCM of 8678,5532 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4339 x 2766 = 24003348

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8678,5532 is 24003348.

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.

8678 x 5532 = 48006696

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.

8678 : 1, 2, 4339, 8678

5532 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 461, 922, 1383, 1844, 2766, 5532

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8678,5532, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8678:2x 4339

5532:2x 2x 3x 461

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 = 48006696/(2x1)

LCM = 48006696/2

LCM = 24003348

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8678,5532 is 24003348.

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

• LCM of 1346, 6431
• LCM of 6905, 5674
