LCM for 22 and 26
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 22 and 26?
(Two hundred eighty-six)
Finding LCM for 22 and 26 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 22 and 26 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 22 and 26 is 2, so
LCM = (22 × 26) ÷ 2
LCM = 572 ÷ 2
LCM = 286
Finding LCM for 22 and 26 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 22 and 26 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 22: 22, 44, 66, 88, 110, 132, 154, 176, 198, 220, 242, 264, 286, 308, 330
Multiples of 26: 26, 52, 78, 104, 130, 156, 182, 208, 234, 260, 286, 312, 338
So the LCM for 22 and 26 is 286
Finding LCM for 22 and 26 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 22 and 26 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 22: 2, 11 (exponent form: 21, 111)
All Prime Factors of 26: 2, 13 (exponent form: 21, 131)
21 × 111 × 131 = 286
