Given numbers are 9946,8468

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

The LCM of 9946,8468 is 42111364.

Find LCM of 9946,8468 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4973 x 4234 = 42111364

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 9946,8468 is 42111364.

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.

9946 x 8468 = 84222728

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.

9946 : 1, 2, 4973, 9946

8468 : 1, 2, 4, 29, 58, 73, 116, 146, 292, 2117, 4234, 8468

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 9946,8468, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

9946:2x 4973

8468:2x 2x 29x 73

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 = 84222728/(2x1)

LCM = 84222728/2

LCM = 42111364

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 9946,8468 is 42111364.

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

• LCM of 8649, 5369
• LCM of 2443, 4490
