LCM for 24 and 48

The first method to find LCM for numbers 24 and 48 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 24 and 48 is 24, so

LCM = (24 × 48) ÷ 24

LCM = 1152 ÷ 24

LCM = 48

The second method to find LCM for numbers 24 and 48 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 24: 24, 48, 72, 96

Multiples of 48: 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 288, 336, 384, 432, 480, 528, 576, 624, 672, 720, 768, 816, 864, 912, 960, 1008, 1056, 1104, 1152, 1200, 1248, 1296, 1344, 1392, 1440, 1488, 1536, 1584, 1632,
