LCM for 26 and 44
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 26 and 44?
(Five hundred seventy-two)
Finding LCM for 26 and 44 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 26 and 44 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 26 and 44 is 2, so
LCM = (26 × 44) ÷ 2
LCM = 1144 ÷ 2
LCM = 572
