What is the Least Common Multiple of 12031 and 12045?

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 12031 and 12045 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 12031 and 12045, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(12031,12045) = 1
LCM(12031,12045) = ( 12031 × 12045) / 1
LCM(12031,12045) = 144913395 / 1
LCM(12031,12045) = 144913395

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12031 and 12045 with Primes
