What is the Least Common Multiple of 3020 and 3035?

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 3020 and 3035 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 3020 and 3035, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(3020,3035) = 5
LCM(3020,3035) = ( 3020 × 3035) / 5
LCM(3020,3035) = 9165700 / 5
LCM(3020,3035) = 1833140

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3020 and 3035 with Primes
