Given numbers are 9440,5492
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 9440,5492 is 12961120.
Find LCM of 9440,5492 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 9440, 5492 |
| 2 | 4720, 2746 |
| 2360, 1373 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2360 x 1373 = 12961120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 9440,5492 is 12961120.
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.
9440 x 5492 = 51844480
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.
9440 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 59, 80, 118, 160, 236, 295, 472, 590, 944, 1180, 1888, 2360, 4720, 9440
5492 : 1, 2, 4, 1373, 2746, 5492
4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 9440,5492, is 4.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
9440:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5x 59
5492:2x 2x 1373
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 = 51844480/(4x1)
LCM = 51844480/4
LCM = 12961120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 9440,5492 is 12961120.
