What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36 and 52?

Answer: LCM of 36 and 52 is 468

(Four hundred sixty-eight)

Finding LCM for 36 and 52 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 52 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 36 and 52 is 4, so

LCM = (36 × 52) ÷ 4

LCM = 1872 ÷ 4

LCM = 468

Finding LCM for 36 and 52 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 52 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 36: 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, 324, 360, 396, 432, 468, 504, 540

Multiples of 52: 52, 104, 156, 208, 260, 312, 364, 416, 468, 520, 572

So the LCM for 36 and 52 is 468

Finding LCM for 36 and 52 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 52 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

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

All Prime Factors of 52: 2, 2, 13 (exponent form: 2², 13¹)

2² × 3² × 13¹ = 468
