Least Common Multiple of 19 and 31 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 19 and 31, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(19,31) = 1
LCM(19,31) = ( 19 × 31) / 1
LCM(19,31) = 589 / 1
LCM(19,31) = 589

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 19 and 31 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 19 and 31. First we will calculate the prime factors of 19 and 31.

Prime Factorization of 19

Prime factors of 19 are 19. Prime factorization of 19 in exponential form is:

19 = 191

Prime Factorization of 31
