What is the Least Common Multiple of 10031 and 10038?

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 10031 and 10038 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 10031 and 10038, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(10031,10038) = 7
LCM(10031,10038) = ( 10031 × 10038) / 7
LCM(10031,10038) = 100691178 / 7
LCM(10031,10038) = 14384454

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10031 and 10038 with Primes
