Finding LCM for 42 and 63 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 42 and 63 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 42 and 63 is 21, so
LCM = (42 × 63) ÷ 21
LCM = 2646 ÷ 21
LCM = 126
Finding LCM for 42 and 63 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 42 and 63 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 42: 42, 84, 126, 168, 210
Multiples of 63: 63, 126, 189, 252
So the LCM for 42 and 63 is 126
Finding LCM for 42 and 63 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 42 and 63 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 42: 2, 3, 7 (exponent form: 21, 31, 71)
All Prime Factors of 63: 3, 3, 7 (exponent form: 32, 71)
21 × 32 × 71 = 126
