Given numbers are 8884,5172

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

The LCM of 8884,5172 is 11487012.

Find LCM of 8884,5172 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2221 x 1293 = 11487012

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8884,5172 is 11487012.

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.

8884 x 5172 = 45948048

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.

8884 : 1, 2, 4, 2221, 4442, 8884

5172 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 431, 862, 1293, 1724, 2586, 5172

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8884,5172, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8884:2x 2x 2221

5172:2x 2x 3x 431

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 = 45948048/(4x1)

LCM = 45948048/4

LCM = 11487012

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8884,5172 is 11487012.
