Given numbers are 8978,8146

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

The LCM of 8978,8146 is 36567394.

Find LCM of 8978,8146 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4489 x 4073 = 36567394

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8978,8146 is 36567394.

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.

8978 x 8146 = 73134788

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.

8978 : 1, 2, 67, 134, 4489, 8978

8146 : 1, 2, 4073, 8146

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8978,8146, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8978:2x 67x 67

8146:2x 4073

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 = 73134788/(2x1)

LCM = 73134788/2

LCM = 36567394

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8978,8146 is 36567394.
