What is the Least Common Multiple of 3100 and 3104?

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 3100 and 3104 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 3100 and 3104, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(3100,3104) = 4
LCM(3100,3104) = ( 3100 × 3104) / 4
LCM(3100,3104) = 9622400 / 4
LCM(3100,3104) = 2405600

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3100 and 3104 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 3100 and 3104. First we will calculate the prime factors of 3100 and 3104.
