What is the Least Common Multiple of 801 and 806?

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 801 and 806 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 801 and 806, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(801,806) = 1
LCM(801,806) = ( 801 × 806) / 1
LCM(801,806) = 645606 / 1
LCM(801,806) = 645606

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 801 and 806 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 801 and 806. First we will calculate the prime factors of 801 and 806.

Prime Factorization of 801

Prime Factorization of 806

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 801 and 806.

LCM(801,806) = 3² × 89¹ × 2¹ × 13¹ × 31¹
LCM(801,806) = 645606
