Finding LCM for 18 and 26 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 26 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 18 and 26 is 2, so

LCM = (18 × 26) ÷ 2

LCM = 468 ÷ 2

LCM = 234

Finding LCM for 18 and 26 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 26 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180, 198, 216, 234, 252, 270

Multiples of 26: 26, 52, 78, 104, 130, 156, 182, 208, 234, 260, 286

So the LCM for 18 and 26 is 234
