What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 22 and 26?

Answer: LCM of 22 and 26 is 286

(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
