What is the Least Common Multiple of 201 and 214?

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 201 and 214 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 201 and 214, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(201,214) = 1
LCM(201,214) = ( 201 × 214) / 1
LCM(201,214) = 43014 / 1
LCM(201,214) = 43014

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 201 and 214 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 201 and 214. First we will calculate the prime factors of 201 and 214.

Prime Factorization of 201
