What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 32 and 36?

Answer: LCM of 32 and 36 is 288

(Two hundred eighty-eight)

Finding LCM for 32 and 36 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 32 and 36 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 32 and 36 is 4, so

LCM = (32 × 36) ÷ 4

LCM = 1152 ÷ 4

LCM = 288

Finding LCM for 32 and 36 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 32 and 36 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 32: 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 288, 320, 352

Multiples of 36: 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, 324, 360

So the LCM for 32 and 36 is 288

Finding LCM for 32 and 36 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 32 and 36 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 32: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 (exponent form: 25)

All Prime Factors of 36: 2, 2, 3, 3 (exponent form: 22, 32)

25 × 32 = 288
