Least Common Multiple of 19 and 27

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

• Least Common Multiple of 19 and 27 by Prime method
• Least Common Multiple of 19 and 27 with GCF Formula

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 19 and 27. First we will calculate the prime factors of 19 and 27.

Prime Factorization of 19

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

19 = 19¹

Prime Factorization of 27

Prime factors of 27 are 3. Prime factorization of 27 in exponential form is:

27 = 3³

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 19 and 27.

LCM(19,27) = 3³×19¹
LCM(19,27) = 513

Factors of 19

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

1, 19

Factors of 27

List of positive integer factors of 27 that divides 27 without a remainder.

1, 3, 9, 27

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 19 and 27, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(19,27) = 1
LCM(19,27) = ( 19 × 27) / 1
LCM(19,27) = 513 / 1
LCM(19,27) = 513

(i) The LCM of 27 and 19 is associative

LCM of 19 and 27 = LCM of 27 and 19
