What is the Least Common Multiple of 20100 and 20115?

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 20100 and 20115 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 20100 and 20115, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(20100,20115) = 15
LCM(20100,20115) = ( 20100 × 20115) / 15
LCM(20100,20115) = 404311500 / 15
LCM(20100,20115) = 26954100

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20100 and 20115 with Primes
