LCM( 2622, 3511 ) = 9205842
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
2622 = 2 · 3 · 19 · 23
3511 = 3511
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
2622 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 19 | · | 23 | ||
3511 | = | 3511 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
2622 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 19 | · | 23 | ||||
3511 | = | 3511 | ||||||||||
LCM | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 19 | · | 23 | · | 3511 | = | 9205842 |
