Least Common Multiple of 29 and 35

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

• Least Common Multiple of 29 and 35 by Prime method
• Least Common Multiple of 29 and 35 with GCF Formula

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 29 and 35. First we will calculate the prime factors of 29 and 35.

Prime Factorization of 29

Prime factors of 29 are 29. Prime factorization of 29 in exponential form is:

29 = 29¹

Prime Factorization of 35

Prime factors of 35 are 5,7. Prime factorization of 35 in exponential form is:

35 = 5¹×7¹

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 29 and 35.

LCM(29,35) = 5¹×7¹×29¹
LCM(29,35) = 1015

Factors of 29

List of positive integer factors of 29 that divides 29 without a remainder.

1, 29

Factors of 35

List of positive integer factors of 35 that divides 35 without a remainder.

1, 5, 7, 35

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 29 and 35, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(29,35) = 1
LCM(29,35) = ( 29 × 35) / 1
LCM(29,35) = 1015 / 1
LCM(29,35) = 1015

(i) The LCM of 35 and 29 is associative
