Given numbers are 8718,1142

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

The LCM of 8718,1142 is 4977978.

Find LCM of 8718,1142 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4359 x 571 = 4977978

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8718,1142 is 4977978.

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.

8718 x 1142 = 9955956

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.

8718 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 1453, 2906, 4359, 8718

1142 : 1, 2, 571, 1142

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8718,1142, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8718:2x 3x 1453

1142:2x 571

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 = 9955956/(2x1)

LCM = 9955956/2

LCM = 4977978

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8718,1142 is 4977978.
