LCM for 254 and 326

The first method to find LCM for numbers 254 and 326 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 254 and 326 is 2, so

LCM = (254 × 326) ÷ 2

LCM = 82,804 ÷ 2

LCM = 41,402

The second method to find LCM for numbers 254 and 326 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
