Given numbers are 8872,9668

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

The LCM of 8872,9668 is 21443624.

Find LCM of 8872,9668 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2218 x 2417 = 21443624

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8872,9668 is 21443624.

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 9668 = 85774496

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

9668 : 1, 2, 4, 2417, 4834, 9668

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8872,9668, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8872:2x 2x 2x 1109

9668:2x 2x 2417

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 = 85774496/(4x1)

LCM = 85774496/4

LCM = 21443624

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8872,9668 is 21443624.

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

• LCM of 6935, 1188
• LCM of 2556, 8290
