LCM for 31 and 96
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 31 and 96?
Answer
(Two thousand, nine hundred seventy-six)
Finding LCM for 31 and 96 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 31 and 96 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 31 and 96 is 1, so
LCM = (31 × 96) ÷ 1
LCM = 2976 ÷ 1
LCM = 2976
Finding LCM for 31 and 96 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 31 and 96 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 31: 31, 62, 93, 124, 155, 186, 217, 248, 279, 310, 341, 372, 403, 434, 465, 496, 527, 558, 589, 620, 651, 682, 713, 744, 775, 806, 837, 868, 899, 930, 961, 992, 1023, 1054, 1085, 1116, 1147, 1178, 1209, 1240, 1271, 1302, 1333, 1364, 1395, 1426, 1457, 1488, 1519, 1550, 1581, 1612, 1643, 1674, 1705, 1736, 1767, 1798, 1829, 1860, 1891, 1922, 1953, 1984, 2015, 2046, 2077, 2108, 2139, 2170, 2201, 2232, 2263, 2294, 2325, 2356, 2387, 2418, 2449, 2480, 2511, 2542, 2573, 2604, 2635, 2666, 2697, 2728, 2759, 2790, 2821, 2852, 2883, 2914, 2945, 2976, 3007, 3038
Multiples of 96: 96, 192, 288, 384, 480, 576, 672, 768, 864, 960, 1056, 1152, 1248, 1344, 1440, 1536, 1632, 1728, 1824, 1920, 2016, 2112, 2208, 2304, 2400, 2496, 2592, 2688, 2784, 2880, 2976, 3072, 3168
So the LCM for 31 and 96 is 2976
Finding LCM for 31 and 96 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 31 and 96 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 31: 31 (exponent form: 311)
All Prime Factors of 96: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 (exponent form: 25, 31)
311 × 25 × 31 = 2976
