Given numbers are 9964,8986

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

The LCM of 9964,8986 is 44768252.

Find LCM of 9964,8986 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 4982 x 4493 = 44768252

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 9964,8986 is 44768252.

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.

9964 x 8986 = 89536504

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.

9964 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 53, 94, 106, 188, 212, 2491, 4982, 9964

8986 : 1, 2, 4493, 8986

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 9964,8986, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

9964:2x 2x 47x 53

8986:2x 4493

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 = 89536504/(2x1)

LCM = 89536504/2

LCM = 44768252

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 9964,8986 is 44768252.

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

• LCM of 1840, 2053
• LCM of 1680, 4340
