What is the Least Common Multiple of 1070 and 1080?

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 1070 and 1080 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 1070 and 1080, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1070,1080) = 10
LCM(1070,1080) = ( 1070 × 1080) / 10
LCM(1070,1080) = 1155600 / 10
LCM(1070,1080) = 115560

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 1070 and 1080 with Primes
