Free LCM Calculator determines the least common multiple (LCM) between 2031 and 2032 the smallest integer that is 4126992 that is divisible by both numbers.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2031 and 2032 is 4126992.
LCM(2031,2032) = 4126992
Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (LCD) can be calculated in three ways;
Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 2031 and 2032. First we will calculate the prime factors of 2031 and 2032.
Prime Factorization of 2031
3 | 2031 |
677 | 677 |

Prime factors of 2031 are 3,677. Prime factorization of 2031 in exponential form is:
2031 = 31×6771
Prime Factorization of 2032
2 | 2032 |
2 | 1016 |
2 | 508 |
2 | 254 |

Prime factors of 2032 are 2,127. Prime factorization of 2032 in exponential form is:
2032 = 24×1271
Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 2031 and 2032.
LCM(2031,2032) = 24×31×1271×6771
LCM(2031,2032) = 4126992
Factors of 2031
List of positive integer factors of 2031 that divides 2031 without a remainder.
1, 3, 677, 2031
Factors of 2032
List of positive integer factors of 2032 that divides 2032 without a remainder.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 127, 254, 508, 1016, 2032
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 2031 and 2032, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2031,2032) = 1
LCM(2031,2032) = ( 2031 × 2032) / 1
LCM(2031,2032) = 4126992 / 1
LCM(2031,2032) = 4126992
(i) The LCM of 2032 and 2031 is associative
LCM of 2031 and 2032 = LCM of 2032 and 2031
