LCM for 11 and 7
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 11 and 7?
(Seventy-seven)
Finding LCM for 11 and 7 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 11 and 7 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 11 and 7 is 1, so
LCM = (11 × 7) ÷ 1
LCM = 77 ÷ 1
LCM = 77
Finding LCM for 11 and 7 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 11 and 7 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
Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91
So the LCM for 11 and 7 is 77
Finding LCM for 11 and 7 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 11 and 7 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 7: 7 (exponent form: 71)
111 × 71 = 77
