LCM for 4 and 26
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4 and 26?
(Fifty-two)
Finding LCM for 4 and 26 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 4 and 26 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 4 and 26 is 2, so
LCM = (4 × 26) ÷ 2
LCM = 104 ÷ 2
LCM = 52
Finding LCM for 4 and 26 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 4 and 26 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60
Multiples of 26: 26, 52, 78, 104
So the LCM for 4 and 26 is 52
Finding LCM for 4 and 26 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 4 and 26 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 4: 2, 2 (exponent form: 22)
All Prime Factors of 26: 2, 13 (exponent form: 21, 131)
22 × 131 = 52
