Given numbers are 968,4072

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

The LCM of 968,4072 is 492712.

Find LCM of 968,4072 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 121 x 509 = 492712

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,4072 is 492712.

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.

968 x 4072 = 3941696

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.

968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968

4072 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 509, 1018, 2036, 4072

8 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,4072, is 8.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11

4072:2x 2x 2x 509

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 = 3941696/(8x1)

LCM = 3941696/8

LCM = 492712

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,4072 is 492712.
