How to find the Least Common Multiple of 54 and 62?
On this page below, we'll use the Prime Factorisation, and the List of Multiples method to find out the LCM of 54 and 62.
Follow the steps below, and let's calculate the LCM of 54 and 62.
Method 1 - Prime factorization
Step 1: Create a list of all the prime factors of the numbers 54 and 62:
Prime factors of 54
The prime factors of 54 are 2, 3, 3 and 3. Prime factorization of 54 in exponential form is:
54 = 21x33
Prime factors of 62
The prime factors of 62 are 2 and 31. Prime factorization of 62 in exponential form is:
62 = 21x311
Step 2: Identify the highest power of each prime number from the above boxes:
21, 33, 311
Step 3: Multiply these values together:
21x33x311=1674
Step 4: The result:
As seen on the calculation above, we have now obtained the LCM of 54 and 62.
The Least Common Multiple of 54 and 62 is 1674.
Method 2 - List of Multiples
