Given numbers are 979,2893

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

The LCM of 979,2893 is 257477.

Find LCM of 979,2893 with Prime Factorization

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

11 x 89 x 263 = 257477

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 979,2893 is 257477.

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.

979 x 2893 = 2832247

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.

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

2893 : 1, 11, 263, 2893

11 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 979,2893, is 11.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

979:11x 89

2893:11x 263

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 = 2832247/(11x1)

LCM = 2832247/11

LCM = 257477

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 979,2893 is 257477.
