Least Common Multiple of 7 and 19

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

• Least Common Multiple of 7 and 19 by Prime method
• Least Common Multiple of 7 and 19 with GCF Formula

Least common multiple can be found by multiplying the highest exponent prime factors of 7 and 19. First we will calculate the prime factors of 7 and 19.

Prime Factorization of 7

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

7 = 7¹

Prime Factorization of 19

Prime factors of 19 are 19. Prime factorization of 19 in exponential form is:

19 = 19¹

Now multiplying the highest exponent prime factors to calculate the LCM of 7 and 19.

LCM(7,19) = 7¹×19¹
LCM(7,19) = 133

Factors of 7

List of positive integer factors of 7 that divides 7 without a remainder.

1, 7

Factors of 19

List of positive integer factors of 19 that divides 19 without a remainder.

1, 19

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 7 and 19, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(7,19) = 1
LCM(7,19) = ( 7 × 19) / 1
LCM(7,19) = 133 / 1
LCM(7,19) = 133

(i) The LCM of 19 and 7 is associative

LCM of 7 and 19 = LCM of 19 and 7
