Answer: LCM of 36 and 81 is 324

(Three hundred twenty-four)

Finding LCM for 36 and 81 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 81 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 36 and 81 is 9, so

LCM = (36 × 81) ÷ 9

LCM = 2916 ÷ 9

LCM = 324

Finding LCM for 36 and 81 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 81 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

Multiples of 81: 81, 162, 243, 324, 405, 486

So the LCM for 36 and 81 is 324

Finding LCM for 36 and 81 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 81 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 81: 3, 3, 3, 3 (exponent form: 34)

22 × 34 = 324
