Given numbers are 8972,3164

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

The LCM of 8972,3164 is 7096852.

Find LCM of 8972,3164 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2243 x 791 = 7096852

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8972,3164 is 7096852.

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.

8972 x 3164 = 28387408

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.

8972 : 1, 2, 4, 2243, 4486, 8972

3164 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 113, 226, 452, 791, 1582, 3164

4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8972,3164, is 4.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8972:2x 2x 2243

3164:2x 2x 7x 113

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 = 28387408/(4x1)

LCM = 28387408/4

LCM = 7096852

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8972,3164 is 7096852.
