LCM for 17 and 68
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17 and 68?
(Sixty-eight)
Finding LCM for 17 and 68 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 17 and 68 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 17 and 68 is 17, so
LCM = (17 × 68) ÷ 17
LCM = 1156 ÷ 17
LCM = 68
Finding LCM for 17 and 68 by Listing Multiples
