LCM for 31 and 88
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 31 and 88?
(Two thousand, seven hundred twenty-eight)
Finding LCM for 31 and 88 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 31 and 88 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 31 and 88 is 1, so
LCM = (31 × 88) ÷ 1
LCM = 2728 ÷ 1
LCM = 2728
