What is the Least Common Multiple of 32 and 128?
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 (LCM) of 32 and 128 is 128.
LCM(32,128) = 128
Least Common Multiple of 32 and 128 with GCF Formula
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 32 and 128, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,128) = 32
LCM(32,128) = ( 32 × 128) / 32
LCM(32,128) = 4096 / 32
LCM(32,128) = 128
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 32 and 128 with Primes
Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 32 and 128. First we will calculate the prime factors of 32 and 128.
