LCM for 36 and 96

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36 and 96?

Answer: LCM of 36 and 96 is 288

(Two hundred eighty-eight)

Finding LCM for 36 and 96 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 96 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 36 and 96 is 12, so

LCM = (36 × 96) ÷ 12

LCM = 3456 ÷ 12

LCM = 288

Finding LCM for 36 and 96 by Listing Multiples
