Factors of 151
List of positive integer factors of 151 that divides 151 without a remainder.
1, 151
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 140 and 151, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(140,151) = 1
LCM(140,151) = ( 140 × 151) / 1
LCM(140,151) = 21140 / 1
LCM(140,151) = 21140
(i) The LCM of 151 and 140 is associative
