DESCRIPTIONS

Prime factorization of 28 :

2282417

(28 = 2 × 2 × 7)

Prime factorization of 35 :

5537

(35 = 5 × 7)

  • 28 = 2 × 2 × 7
  • 35 = 5 × 7

Provided that the common prime factor (7) appears in the multiplication only once, the LCM of 28 and 35 is equal to the product of all prime factors.

LCM(28, 35) = 7 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 140
