Least Common Multiple of 35 and 47

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

• Least Common Multiple of 35 and 47 by Prime method
• Least Common Multiple of 35 and 47 with GCF Formula

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 35 and 47. First we will calculate the prime factors of 35 and 47.

Prime Factorization of 35

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

35 = 5¹×7¹

Prime Factorization of 47

Prime factors of 47 are 47. Prime factorization of 47 in exponential form is:

47 = 47¹

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 35 and 47.

LCM(35,47) = 5¹×7¹×47¹
LCM(35,47) = 1645

Factors of 35

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

1, 5, 7, 35

Factors of 47

List of positive integer factors of 47 that divides 47 without a remainder.

1, 47

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 35 and 47, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(35,47) = 1
LCM(35,47) = ( 35 × 47) / 1
LCM(35,47) = 1645 / 1
LCM(35,47) = 1645

(i) The LCM of 47 and 35 is associative
