(One thousand, two hundred sixty)

Finding LCM for 36 and 315 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 315 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 36 and 315 is 9, so

LCM = (36 × 315) ÷ 9

LCM = 11340 ÷ 9

LCM = 1260
