Given numbers are 8942,8706

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

The LCM of 8942,8706 is 38924526.

Find LCM of 8942,8706 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4471 x 4353 = 38924526

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8942,8706 is 38924526.

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.

8942 x 8706 = 77849052

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.

8942 : 1, 2, 17, 34, 263, 526, 4471, 8942

8706 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 1451, 2902, 4353, 8706

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8942,8706, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8942:2x 17x 263

8706:2x 3x 1451

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 = 77849052/(2x1)

LCM = 77849052/2

LCM = 38924526

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8942,8706 is 38924526.

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

• LCM of 6036, 1585
• LCM of 9440, 9006
