So, the LCM of 391, 395 is 154445.

One method for determining the LCM of 391 and 395 is to compare the prime factorization of each number. You can find the prime factorization for each number by following the instructions below:

Here is 391's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 391 are 17,23.

391 = 17¹×23¹

And this is 395's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 395 are 5,79.

395 = 5¹×79¹

When comparing the prime factorization of these two numbers, look for the highest power to which each prime factor is raised. In this case, the following primary factors must be considered: 17,23, 5,79

5¹×17¹×23¹×79¹ = 154445

This shows that the LCM of 391 and 395 is 154445.

The first step in determining the Least Common Multiple of 391 and 395 is to generate a list of multiples for each number.

Lets look at the multiples of these two numbers, 391 and 395:

Lets look at the first ten multiples of these numbers, 391 and 395:

391,782,1173,1564,1955,2346,2737,3128,3519,6647 are the first ten multiples of 391.

395,790,1185,1580,1975,2370,2765,3160,3555,6715 are the first ten multiples of 395.

You can continue to list the multiples of these numbers until you find a match. Once you have found a match, or several matches, the Least Common Multiple is the smallest of these matches. The first matching multiple(s) of 391 and 395, for example, are 4692, 6647, and 6320. 154445 is the least common multiple since it is the smallest.

391 and 395 have an LCM of 154445.

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 391 and 395, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(391,395) = 1
LCM(391,395) = ( 391 × 395) / 1
LCM(391,395) = 154445 / 1
LCM(391,395) = 154445
