Least Common Multiple of 70 and 81 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 70 and 81, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(70,81) = 1
LCM(70,81) = ( 70 × 81) / 1
LCM(70,81) = 5670 / 1
LCM(70,81) = 5670

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 70 and 81 with Primes
