Given numbers are 8834,4642

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

The LCM of 8834,4642 is 20503714.

Find LCM of 8834,4642 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4417 x 2321 = 20503714

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8834,4642 is 20503714.

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.

8834 x 4642 = 41007428

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.

8834 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 631, 1262, 4417, 8834

4642 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 211, 422, 2321, 4642

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8834,4642, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8834:2x 7x 631

4642:2x 11x 211

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 = 41007428/(2x1)

LCM = 41007428/2

LCM = 20503714

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8834,4642 is 20503714.

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

• LCM of 9975, 5310
• LCM of 4051, 4879
