What is the Least Common Multiple of 20901 and 20907?

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 20901 and 20907 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 20901 and 20907, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(20901,20907) = 3
LCM(20901,20907) = ( 20901 × 20907) / 3
LCM(20901,20907) = 436977207 / 3
LCM(20901,20907) = 145659069

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20901 and 20907 with Primes
