What is the Least Common Multiple of 90000 and 90004?

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 90000 and 90004 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 90000 and 90004, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(90000,90004) = 4
LCM(90000,90004) = ( 90000 × 90004) / 4
LCM(90000,90004) = 8100360000 / 4
LCM(90000,90004) = 2025090000

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 90000 and 90004 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 90000 and 90004. First we will calculate the prime factors of 90000 and 90004.

Prime Factorization of 90000
