Given numbers are 8872,2870

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

The LCM of 8872,2870 is 12731320.

Find LCM of 8872,2870 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4436 x 1435 = 12731320

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8872,2870 is 12731320.

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.

8872 x 2870 = 25462640

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.

8872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 1109, 2218, 4436, 8872

2870 : 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 41, 70, 82, 205, 287, 410, 574, 1435, 2870

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8872,2870, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8872:2x 2x 2x 1109

2870:2x 5x 7x 41

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 = 25462640/(2x1)

LCM = 25462640/2

LCM = 12731320

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8872,2870 is 12731320.

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

• LCM of 1991, 7148
• LCM of 2165, 6176
