Given numbers are 8986,8838

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

The LCM of 8986,8838 is 39709134.

Find LCM of 8986,8838 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4493 x 4419 = 39709134

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8986,8838 is 39709134.

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.

8986 x 8838 = 79418268

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.

8986 : 1, 2, 4493, 8986

8838 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 491, 982, 1473, 2946, 4419, 8838

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8986,8838, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8986:2x 4493

8838:2x 3x 3x 491

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 = 79418268/(2x1)

LCM = 79418268/2

LCM = 39709134

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8986,8838 is 39709134.

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

• LCM of 7904, 6299
• LCM of 1627, 7599
