What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 42 and 44?

Answer: LCM of 42 and 44 is 924

(Nine hundred twenty-four)

Finding LCM for 42 and 44 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 42 and 44 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 42 and 44 is 2, so

LCM = (42 × 44) ÷ 2

LCM = 1848 ÷ 2

LCM = 924
