LCM( 3810, 417 ) = 529590
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
3810 = 2 · 3 · 5 · 127
417 = 3 · 139
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
3810 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 127 | ||
417 | = | 3 | · | 139 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
3810 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 127 | ||||
417 | = | 3 | · | 139 | ||||||||
LCM | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 127 | · | 139 | = | 529590 |
