Given numbers are 8956,8234

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

The LCM of 8956,8234 is 36871852.

Find LCM of 8956,8234 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4478 x 4117 = 36871852

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8956,8234 is 36871852.

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.

8956 x 8234 = 73743704

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.

8956 : 1, 2, 4, 2239, 4478, 8956

8234 : 1, 2, 23, 46, 179, 358, 4117, 8234

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8956,8234, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8956:2x 2x 2239

8234:2x 23x 179

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 = 73743704/(2x1)

LCM = 73743704/2

LCM = 36871852

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8956,8234 is 36871852.

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

• LCM of 3382, 2215
