LCM for 15 and 62
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15 and 62?
(Nine hundred thirty)
Finding LCM for 15 and 62 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 62 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 15 and 62 is 1, so
LCM = (15 × 62) ÷ 1
LCM = 930 ÷ 1
LCM = 930
Finding LCM for 15 and 62 by Listing Multiples
