Given numbers are 9718,8612

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

The LCM of 9718,8612 is 41845708.

Find LCM of 9718,8612 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4859 x 4306 = 41845708

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 9718,8612 is 41845708.

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.

9718 x 8612 = 83691416

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.

9718 : 1, 2, 43, 86, 113, 226, 4859, 9718

8612 : 1, 2, 4, 2153, 4306, 8612

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 9718,8612, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

9718:2x 43x 113

8612:2x 2x 2153

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 = 83691416/(2x1)

LCM = 83691416/2

LCM = 41845708

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 9718,8612 is 41845708.

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

• LCM of 1422, 2236
• LCM of 6844, 4304
