How to find the Least Common Multiple of 53 and 65?
On this page below, we'll use the Prime Factorisation, and the List of Multiples method to find out the LCM of 53 and 65.
Follow the steps below, and let's calculate the LCM of 53 and 65.
Method 1 - Prime factorization
Step 1: Create a list of all the prime factors of the numbers 53 and 65:
Prime factors of 53
The prime factors of 53 are 53. Prime factorization of 53 in exponential form is:
53 = 531
Prime factors of 65
The prime factors of 65 are 5 and 13. Prime factorization of 65 in exponential form is:
65 = 51x131
Step 2: Identify the highest power of each prime number from the above boxes:
531, 51, 131
Step 3: Multiply these values together:
531x51x131=3445
Step 4: The result:
As seen on the calculation above, we have now obtained the LCM of 53 and 65.
The Least Common Multiple of 53 and 65 is 3445.
Method 2 - List of Multiples
Find and list multiples of each number until the first common multiple is found. This is the lowest common multiple.
