What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 11 and 15?
(One hundred sixty-five)
Finding LCM for 11 and 15 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 11 and 15 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 11 and 15 is 1, so
LCM = (11 × 15) ÷ 1
LCM = 165 ÷ 1
LCM = 165
Finding LCM for 11 and 15 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 11 and 15 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 11: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 110, 121, 132, 143, 154, 165, 176, 187
Multiples of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195
So the LCM for 11 and 15 is 165
Finding LCM for 11 and 15 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 11 and 15 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 11: 11 (exponent form: 111)
All Prime Factors of 15: 3, 5 (exponent form: 31, 51)
111 × 31 × 51 = 165
