LCM for 2 and 12

The first method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 12 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 2 and 12 is 2, so

LCM = (2 × 12) ÷ 2

LCM = 24 ÷ 2

LCM = 12

The second method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 12 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16

Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, [...], 12

So the LCM for 2 and 12 is 12

Another method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 12 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

• What is the GCF of 2 and 12
• 2/12 as a decimal
• What is 2/12 as a percent?
• 2 is what percent less than 12?
