(Two hundred seventy-three)
Finding LCM for 21 and 39 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 21 and 39 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 21 and 39 is 3, so
LCM = (21 × 39) ÷ 3
LCM = 819 ÷ 3
LCM = 273
