Given numbers are 8812,3172

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

The LCM of 8812,3172 is 6987916.

Find LCM of 8812,3172 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2203 x 793 = 6987916

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8812,3172 is 6987916.

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.

8812 x 3172 = 27951664

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.

8812 : 1, 2, 4, 2203, 4406, 8812

3172 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 61, 122, 244, 793, 1586, 3172

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8812,3172, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8812:2x 2x 2203

3172:2x 2x 13x 61

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 = 27951664/(4x1)

LCM = 27951664/4

LCM = 6987916

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8812,3172 is 6987916.

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

• LCM of 1553, 8348
