LCM for 36 and 53
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36 and 53?
Answer
(One thousand, nine hundred eight)
Finding LCM for 36 and 53 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 53 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 36 and 53 is 1, so
LCM = (36 × 53) ÷ 1
LCM = 1908 ÷ 1
LCM = 1908
Finding LCM for 36 and 53 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 53 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 36: 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, 324, 360, 396, 432, 468, 504, 540, 576, 612, 648, 684, 720, 756, 792, 828, 864, 900, 936, 972, 1008, 1044, 1080, 1116, 1152, 1188, 1224, 1260, 1296, 1332, 1368, 1404, 1440, 1476, 1512, 1548, 1584, 1620, 1656, 1692, 1728, 1764, 1800, 1836, 1872, 1908, 1944, 1980
Multiples of 53: 53, 106, 159, 212, 265, 318, 371, 424, 477, 530, 583, 636, 689, 742, 795, 848, 901, 954, 1007, 1060, 1113, 1166, 1219, 1272, 1325, 1378, 1431, 1484, 1537, 1590, 1643, 1696, 1749, 1802, 1855, 1908, 1961, 2014
So the LCM for 36 and 53 is 1908
Finding LCM for 36 and 53 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 53 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 53: 53 (exponent form: 531)
22 × 32 × 531 = 1908
