Least Common Multiple of 1988, 1972

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

• Least Common Multiple of 1988, 1972 by common division method
• Least Common Multiple of 1988, 1972 with GCF Formula

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 497 x 493 = 980084

The formula of LCM is LCM(a₁,a₂,a₃....,a_n) = ( a₁ × a₂ × a₃ × .... × a_n) / GCF(a₁,a₂,a₃....,a_n) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).

We need to calculate greatest common factor of 1988,1972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1988,1972) = 4

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(1988,1972) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4

LCM(1988,1972) = ( 1988 × 1972 ) / 4

LCM(1988,1972) = 3920336 / 4

LCM(1988,1972) = 980084

∴ Least Common Multiple of 1988,1972 is 980084

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 2857, 3989
• LCM of 1356, 5869
• LCM of 2836, 8840
• LCM of 5421, 1589
