Least Common Multiple of 34 and 45 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 34 and 45, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(34,45) = 1
LCM(34,45) = ( 34 × 45) / 1
LCM(34,45) = 1530 / 1
LCM(34,45) = 1530

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 34 and 45 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 34 and 45. First we will calculate the prime factors of 34 and 45.

Prime Factorization of 34

Prime factors of 34 are 2, 17. Prime factorization of 34 in exponential form is:

34 = 21 × 171

Prime Factorization of 45
