Least Common Multiple of 41 and 52 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 41 and 52, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(41,52) = 1
LCM(41,52) = ( 41 × 52) / 1
LCM(41,52) = 2132 / 1
LCM(41,52) = 2132

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 41 and 52 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 41 and 52. First we will calculate the prime factors of 41 and 52.

Prime Factorization of 41

Prime factors of 41 are 41. Prime factorization of 41 in exponential form is:

41 = 411

Prime Factorization of 52

Prime factors of 52 are 2, 13. Prime factorization of 52 in exponential form is:

52 = 22 × 131

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 41 and 52.

LCM(41,52) = 411 × 22 × 131
LCM(41,52) = 2132
