What is the Least Common Multiple of 2101 and 2105?

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 2101 and 2105 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 2101 and 2105, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(2101,2105) = 1
LCM(2101,2105) = ( 2101 × 2105) / 1
LCM(2101,2105) = 4422605 / 1
LCM(2101,2105) = 4422605

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2101 and 2105 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 2101 and 2105. First we will calculate the prime factors of 2101 and 2105.

Prime Factorization of 2101

Prime Factorization of 2105

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 2101 and 2105.

LCM(2101,2105) = 11¹ × 191¹ × 5¹ × 421¹
LCM(2101,2105) = 4422605
