LCM for 18 and 49
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 49?
Answer
(Eight hundred eighty-two)
Finding LCM for 18 and 49 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 49 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 18 and 49 is 1, so
LCM = (18 × 49) ÷ 1
LCM = 882 ÷ 1
LCM = 882
Finding LCM for 18 and 49 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 49 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180, 198, 216, 234, 252, 270, 288, 306, 324, 342, 360, 378, 396, 414, 432, 450, 468, 486, 504, 522, 540, 558, 576, 594, 612, 630, 648, 666, 684, 702, 720, 738, 756, 774, 792, 810, 828, 846, 864, 882, 900, 918
Multiples of 49: 49, 98, 147, 196, 245, 294, 343, 392, 441, 490, 539, 588, 637, 686, 735, 784, 833, 882, 931, 980
So the LCM for 18 and 49 is 882
Finding LCM for 18 and 49 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 49 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 18: 2, 3, 3 (exponent form: 21, 32)
All Prime Factors of 49: 7, 7 (exponent form: 72)
21 × 32 × 72 = 882
