What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 78?

Answer: LCM of 12 and 78 is 156

(One hundred fifty-six)

Finding LCM for 12 and 78 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 78 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 12 and 78 is 6, so

LCM = (12 × 78) ÷ 6

LCM = 936 ÷ 6

LCM = 156

Finding LCM for 12 and 78 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 78 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 78: 78, 156, 234, 312

So the LCM for 12 and 78 is 156

Finding LCM for 12 and 78 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 78 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 78: 2, 3, 13 (exponent form: 2¹, 3¹, 13¹)

2² × 3¹ × 13¹ = 156
