Least Common Multiple of 34 and 45

How to find the Least Common Multiple of 34 and 45?

On this page below, we'll use the Prime Factorisation, and the List of Multiples method to find out the LCM of 34 and 45.

Follow the steps below, and let's calculate the LCM of 34 and 45.

Method 1 - Prime factorization

Step 1: Create a list of all the prime factors of the numbers 34 and 45:

Prime factors of 34

The prime factors of 34 are 2 and 17. Prime factorization of 34 in exponential form is:

34 = 2¹x17¹

Prime factors of 45

The prime factors of 45 are 3, 3 and 5. Prime factorization of 45 in exponential form is:

45 = 3²x5¹

Step 2: Identify the highest power of each prime number from the above boxes:

2¹, 17¹, 3², 5¹

Step 3: Multiply these values together:

2¹x17¹x3²x5¹=1530

Step 4: The result:

As seen on the calculation above, we have now obtained the LCM of 34 and 45.

The Least Common Multiple of 34 and 45 is 1530.
