LCM for 17 and 46
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17 and 46?
(Seven hundred eighty-two)
Finding LCM for 17 and 46 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 17 and 46 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 17 and 46 is 1, so
LCM = (17 × 46) ÷ 1
LCM = 782 ÷ 1
LCM = 782
Finding LCM for 17 and 46 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 17 and 46 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 17: 17, 34, 51, 68, 85, 102, 119, 136, 153, 170, 187, 204, 221, 238, 255, 272, 289, 306, 323, 340, 357, 374, 391, 408, 425, 442, 459, 476, 493, 510, 527, 544, 561, 578, 595, 612, 629, 646, 663, 680, 697, 714, 731, 748, 765, 782, 799, 816
Multiples of 46: 46, 92, 138, 184, 230, 276, 322, 368, 414, 460, 506, 552, 598, 644, 690, 736, 782, 828, 874
So the LCM for 17 and 46 is 782
Finding LCM for 17 and 46 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 17 and 46 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 17: 17 (exponent form: 171)
All Prime Factors of 46: 2, 23 (exponent form: 21, 231)
171 × 21 × 231 = 782
