Given numbers are 8686,3604

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

The LCM of 8686,3604 is 15652172.

Find LCM of 8686,3604 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4343 x 1802 = 15652172

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8686,3604 is 15652172.

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.

8686 x 3604 = 31304344

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.

8686 : 1, 2, 43, 86, 101, 202, 4343, 8686

3604 : 1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 53, 68, 106, 212, 901, 1802, 3604

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8686,3604, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8686:2x 43x 101

3604:2x 2x 17x 53

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 = 31304344/(2x1)

LCM = 31304344/2

LCM = 15652172

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8686,3604 is 15652172.

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

• LCM of 8699, 1961
• LCM of 4489, 6605
