FINDING LCM USING PRIME FACTORIZATION

In addition to the cake method, we can calculate the LCM of two numbers by using prime factorization.

Once we find the prime factorization of the given numbers by using the factorization tree or the upside-down division method, we mark the common prime factors. In order to find the LCM, we multiply all prime factors but the common prime factors are used only once in the multiplication.

WHAT IS LCM PRIME FACTORIZATION CALCULATOR?

LCM prime factorization calculator,

• Calculates the LCM using the prime factorization algorithms,
• Finds the prime factorizations of the given numbers,
• Indicates the common and uncommon prime factors and
• Graphically illustrates the factorization trees of the given numbers.

HOW TO USE LCM PRIME FACTORIZATION CALCULATOR?

You can use the LCM prime factorization calculator in two ways.

• USER INPUTS
