Answer

LCM of 26 and 46 is 598

(Five hundred ninety-eight)

Finding LCM for 26 and 46 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 26 and 46 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 26 and 46 is 2, so

LCM = (26 × 46) ÷ 2

LCM = 1196 ÷ 2

LCM = 598

Finding LCM for 26 and 46 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 26 and 46 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, 312, 338, 364, 390, 416, 442, 468, 494, 520, 546, 572, 598, 624, 650

Multiples of 46: 46, 92, 138, 184, 230, 276, 322, 368, 414, 460, 506, 552, 598, 644, 690

So the LCM for 26 and 46 is 598

Finding LCM for 26 and 46 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 26 and 46 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 46: 2, 23 (exponent form: 21, 231)

21 × 131 × 231 = 598
