1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 23, 46, 55, 110, 115, 230, 253, 506, 1265, 2530
Factors of 2531
List of positive integer factors of 2531 that divides 2531 without a remainder.
1, 2531
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 2530 and 2531, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2530,2531) = 1
LCM(2530,2531) = ( 2530 × 2531) / 1
LCM(2530,2531) = 6403430 / 1
LCM(2530,2531) = 6403430
(i) The LCM of 2531 and 2530 is associative
