Given numbers are 8878,2542

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

The LCM of 8878,2542 is 11283938.

Find LCM of 8878,2542 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4439 x 1271 = 11283938

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8878,2542 is 11283938.

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.

8878 x 2542 = 22567876

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.

8878 : 1, 2, 23, 46, 193, 386, 4439, 8878

2542 : 1, 2, 31, 41, 62, 82, 1271, 2542

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8878,2542, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8878:2x 23x 193

2542:2x 31x 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 = 22567876/(2x1)

LCM = 22567876/2

LCM = 11283938

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8878,2542 is 11283938.

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

• LCM of 3450, 8299
• LCM of 1816, 6924
