What is the Least Common Multiple of 420 and 425?
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 (LCM) of 420 and 425 is 35700.
LCM(420,425) = 35700
Least Common Multiple of 420 and 425 with GCF Formula
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 420 and 425, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(420,425) = 5
LCM(420,425) = ( 420 × 425) / 5
LCM(420,425) = 178500 / 5
LCM(420,425) = 35700
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 420 and 425 with Primes
