What is the Least Common Multiple of 57 and 67?
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 57 and 67 is 3819.
LCM(57,67) = 3819
Least Common Multiple of 57 and 67 with GCF Formula
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 57 and 67, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,67) = 1
LCM(57,67) = ( 57 × 67) / 1
LCM(57,67) = 3819 / 1
LCM(57,67) = 3819
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 57 and 67 with Primes
Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 57 and 67. First we will calculate the prime factors of 57 and 67.
Prime Factorization of 57
