What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 52?

Answer: LCM of 12 and 52 is 156

(One hundred fifty-six)

Finding LCM for 12 and 52 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 52 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 12 and 52 is 4, so

LCM = (12 × 52) ÷ 4

LCM = 624 ÷ 4

LCM = 156

Finding LCM for 12 and 52 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 52 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 180

Multiples of 52: 52, 104, 156, 208, 260

So the LCM for 12 and 52 is 156

Finding LCM for 12 and 52 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 52 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 12: 2, 2, 3 (exponent form: 22, 31)

All Prime Factors of 52: 2, 2, 13 (exponent form: 22, 131)

22 × 31 × 131 = 156
