LCM for 105 and 189
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 105 and 189?
Answer
(Nine hundred forty-five)
Finding LCM for 105 and 189 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 105 and 189 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 105 and 189 is 21, so
LCM = (105 × 189) ÷ 21
LCM = 19,845 ÷ 21
LCM = 945
Finding LCM for 105 and 189 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 105 and 189 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 105: 105, 210, 315, 420, 525, 630, 735, 840, 945, 1050, 1155
Multiples of 189: 189, 378, 567, 756, 945, 1134, 1323
So the LCM for 105 and 189 is 945
Finding LCM for 105 and 189 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 105 and 189 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 105: 3, 5, 7 (exponent form: 31, 51, 71)
All Prime Factors of 189: 3, 3, 3, 7 (exponent form: 33, 71)
33 × 51 × 71 = 945
