LCM for 23 and 46
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 23 and 46?
(Forty-six)
Finding LCM for 23 and 46 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 23 and 46 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 23 and 46 is 23, so
LCM = (23 × 46) ÷ 23
LCM = 1058 ÷ 23
LCM = 46
Finding LCM for 23 and 46 by Listing Multiples
