LCM for 27 and 63
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 27 and 63?
(One hundred eighty-nine)
Finding LCM for 27 and 63 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 27 and 63 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 27 and 63 is 9, so
LCM = (27 × 63) ÷ 9
LCM = 1701 ÷ 9
LCM = 189
Finding LCM for 27 and 63 by Listing Multiples
