Given numbers are 8986,9404

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

The LCM of 8986,9404 is 42252172.

Find LCM of 8986,9404 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4493 x 4702 = 42252172

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 8986,9404 is 42252172.

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 9404 = 84504344

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

9404 : 1, 2, 4, 2351, 4702, 9404

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 8986,9404, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

8986:2x 4493

9404:2x 2x 2351

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 = 84504344/(2x1)

LCM = 84504344/2

LCM = 42252172

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 8986,9404 is 42252172.
