How to find the Least Common Multiple of 39 and 49?
On this page below, we'll use the Prime Factorisation, and the List of Multiples method to find out the LCM of 39 and 49.
Follow the steps below, and let's calculate the LCM of 39 and 49.
Method 1 - Prime factorization
Step 1: Create a list of all the prime factors of the numbers 39 and 49:
Prime factors of 39
The prime factors of 39 are 3 and 13. Prime factorization of 39 in exponential form is:
39 = 31x131
Prime factors of 49
The prime factors of 49 are 7 and 7. Prime factorization of 49 in exponential form is:
49 = 72
Step 2: Identify the highest power of each prime number from the above boxes:
31, 131, 72
Step 3: Multiply these values together:
31x131x72=1911
Step 4: The result:
