LCM for 3 and 11
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3 and 11?
(Thirty-three)
Finding LCM for 3 and 11 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 3 and 11 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 3 and 11 is 1, so
LCM = (3 × 11) ÷ 1
LCM = 33 ÷ 1
LCM = 33
Finding LCM for 3 and 11 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 3 and 11 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39
Multiples of 11: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55
So the LCM for 3 and 11 is 33
Finding LCM for 3 and 11 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 3 and 11 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 3: 3 (exponent form: 31)
All Prime Factors of 11: 11 (exponent form: 111)
31 × 111 = 33
