LCM( 4609, 4609 ) = 4609
Step 1 : Place the numbers inside division bar:
4609 | 4609 |
Step 2 : Find a prime number which divides both numbers.
In this example we can divide by 11. If any number is not divisible by 11 write it down unchanged.
11 | 4609 | 4609 |
419 | 419 |
Step 3 : Repeat Step 2 until you can no longer divide.
11 | 4609 | 4609 |
419 | 419 | 419 |
1 | 1 |
Since there are no primes that divides at least two of given numbers, we conclude that the LCM is a product of starting numbers.
LCM = 4609 · 4609 = 4609
