Least Common Multiple of 37 and 73

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

• Least Common Multiple of 37 and 73 by Prime method
• Least Common Multiple of 37 and 73 with GCF Formula

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 37 and 73. First we will calculate the prime factors of 37 and 73.

Prime Factorization of 37

Prime factors of 37 are 37. Prime factorization of 37 in exponential form is:

37 = 37¹

Prime Factorization of 73

Prime factors of 73 are 73. Prime factorization of 73 in exponential form is:

73 = 73¹

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 37 and 73.

LCM(37,73) = 37¹×73¹
LCM(37,73) = 2701

Factors of 37
