What is the Least Common Multiple of 10000 and 10017?

Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in two way; with the LCM formula calculation of greatest common factor (GCF), or multiplying the prime factors with the highest exponent factor.

Least Common Multiple of 10000 and 10017 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 10000 and 10017, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(10000,10017) = 1
LCM(10000,10017) = ( 10000 × 10017) / 1
LCM(10000,10017) = 100170000 / 1
LCM(10000,10017) = 100170000

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10000 and 10017 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 10000 and 10017. First we will calculate the prime factors of 10000 and 10017.

Prime Factorization of 10000

Prime Factorization of 10017

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 10000 and 10017.

LCM(10000,10017) = 2⁴ × 5⁴ × 3³ × 7¹ × 53¹
LCM(10000,10017) = 100170000
