LCM for 17 and 85
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17 and 85?
(Eighty-five)
Finding LCM for 17 and 85 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 17 and 85 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 17 and 85 is 17, so
LCM = (17 × 85) ÷ 17
LCM = 1445 ÷ 17
LCM = 85
