LCM for 28 and 51
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 28 and 51?
Answer
(One thousand, four hundred twenty-eight)
Finding LCM for 28 and 51 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 28 and 51 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 28 and 51 is 1, so
LCM = (28 × 51) ÷ 1
LCM = 1428 ÷ 1
LCM = 1428
Finding LCM for 28 and 51 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 28 and 51 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 28: 28, 56, 84, 112, 140, 168, 196, 224, 252, 280, 308, 336, 364, 392, 420, 448, 476, 504, 532, 560, 588, 616, 644, 672, 700, 728, 756, 784, 812, 840, 868, 896, 924, 952, 980, 1008, 1036, 1064, 1092, 1120, 1148, 1176, 1204, 1232, 1260, 1288, 1316, 1344, 1372, 1400, 1428, 1456, 1484
Multiples of 51: 51, 102, 153, 204, 255, 306, 357, 408, 459, 510, 561, 612, 663, 714, 765, 816, 867, 918, 969, 1020, 1071, 1122, 1173, 1224, 1275, 1326, 1377, 1428, 1479, 1530
So the LCM for 28 and 51 is 1428
Finding LCM for 28 and 51 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 28 and 51 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 28: 2, 2, 7 (exponent form: 22, 71)
All Prime Factors of 51: 3, 17 (exponent form: 31, 171)
22 × 71 × 31 × 171 = 1428
