Given numbers are 8702,2168

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

The LCM of 8702,2168 is 9432968.

Find LCM of 8702,2168 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4351 x 1084 = 9432968

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8702,2168 is 9432968.

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.

8702 x 2168 = 18865936

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.

8702 : 1, 2, 19, 38, 229, 458, 4351, 8702

2168 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 271, 542, 1084, 2168

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8702,2168, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8702:2x 19x 229

2168:2x 2x 2x 271

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 = 18865936/(2x1)

LCM = 18865936/2

LCM = 9432968

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8702,2168 is 9432968.
