LCM for 26 and 117
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 26 and 117?
Answer
(Two hundred thirty-four)
Finding LCM for 26 and 117 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 26 and 117 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 26 and 117 is 13, so
LCM = (26 × 117) ÷ 13
LCM = 3,042 ÷ 13
LCM = 234
Finding LCM for 26 and 117 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 26 and 117 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 26: 26, 52, 78, 104, 130, 156, 182, 208, 234, 260, 286
Multiples of 117: 117, 234, 351, 468
So the LCM for 26 and 117 is 234
Finding LCM for 26 and 117 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 26 and 117 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 26: 2, 13 (exponent form: 21, 131)
All Prime Factors of 117: 3, 3, 13 (exponent form: 32, 131)
21 × 131 × 32 = 234
