Least Common Multiple of 19 and 25

Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (LCD) can be calculated in three ways;

• Least Common Multiple of 19 and 25 by Prime method
• Least Common Multiple of 19 and 25 with GCF Formula

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 19 and 25. First we will calculate the prime factors of 19 and 25.

Prime Factorization of 19

Prime factors of 19 are 19. Prime factorization of 19 in exponential form is:

19 = 19¹

Prime Factorization of 25

Prime factors of 25 are 5. Prime factorization of 25 in exponential form is:

25 = 5²

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 19 and 25.

LCM(19,25) = 5²×19¹
LCM(19,25) = 475

Factors of 19

List of positive integer factors of 19 that divides 19 without a remainder.

1, 19

Factors of 25

List of positive integer factors of 25 that divides 25 without a remainder.

1, 5, 25

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 19 and 25, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(19,25) = 1
LCM(19,25) = ( 19 × 25) / 1
LCM(19,25) = 475 / 1
LCM(19,25) = 475

(i) The LCM of 25 and 19 is associative

LCM of 19 and 25 = LCM of 25 and 19
