Given numbers are 9942,3208

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

The LCM of 9942,3208 is 15946968.

Find LCM of 9942,3208 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4971 x 1604 = 15946968

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 9942,3208 is 15946968.

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.

9942 x 3208 = 31893936

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.

9942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 1657, 3314, 4971, 9942

3208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 401, 802, 1604, 3208

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 9942,3208, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

9942:2x 3x 1657

3208:2x 2x 2x 401

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 = 31893936/(2x1)

LCM = 31893936/2

LCM = 15946968

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 9942,3208 is 15946968.

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

• LCM of 7576, 8526
