What is the Least Common Multiple of 91 and 103?

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 91 and 103 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 91 and 103, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(91,103) = 1
LCM(91,103) = ( 91 × 103) / 1
LCM(91,103) = 9373 / 1
LCM(91,103) = 9373

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 91 and 103 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 91 and 103. First we will calculate the prime factors of 91 and 103.

Prime Factorization of 91

Prime Factorization of 103

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 91 and 103.

LCM(91,103) = 7¹ × 13¹ × 103¹
LCM(91,103) = 9373
