Answer:
LCM(57624, 416745) = 23,337,720 or LCM = 23337720
Step-by-step explanation:
List all prime factors for each number.
Prime Factorization of 57624 is:
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 => 23 x 31 x 74
Prime Factorization of 416745 is:
3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 7 x 7 => 35 x 51 x 73
For each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times in a new list.
The new superset list is
2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 7, 7, 7, 7
Multiply these factors together to find the LCM.
LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 = 23337720
In exponential form:
LCM = 23 x 35 x 51 x 74 = 23337720
LCM = 23337720
Therefore,
LCM(57624, 416745) = 23,337,720
