What is the Least Common Multiple of 7004 and 7015?

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 7004 and 7015 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 7004 and 7015, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(7004,7015) = 1
LCM(7004,7015) = ( 7004 × 7015) / 1
LCM(7004,7015) = 49133060 / 1
LCM(7004,7015) = 49133060

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 7004 and 7015 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 7004 and 7015. First we will calculate the prime factors of 7004 and 7015.

Prime Factorization of 7004
