What is the Least Common Multiple of 801 and 807?

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 of 801 and 807 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 801 and 807, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(801,807) = 3
LCM(801,807) = ( 801 × 807) / 3
LCM(801,807) = 646407 / 3
LCM(801,807) = 215469

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 801 and 807 with Primes

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 801 and 807. First we will calculate the prime factors of 801 and 807.

Prime Factorization of 801

Prime Factorization of 807

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 801 and 807.

LCM(801,807) = 3² × 89¹ × 269¹
LCM(801,807) = 215469
