What is the Least Common Multiple of 21011 and 21018?

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 21011 and 21018 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 21011 and 21018, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(21011,21018) = 1
LCM(21011,21018) = ( 21011 × 21018) / 1
LCM(21011,21018) = 441609198 / 1
LCM(21011,21018) = 441609198

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 21011 and 21018 with Primes
