What is the Least Common Multiple of 12700 and 12710?

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 12700 and 12710 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 12700 and 12710, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(12700,12710) = 10
LCM(12700,12710) = ( 12700 × 12710) / 10
LCM(12700,12710) = 161417000 / 10
LCM(12700,12710) = 16141700

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12700 and 12710 with Primes
