What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 42 and 91?

Answer

LCM of 42 and 91 is 546

(Five hundred forty-six)

Finding LCM for 42 and 91 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 42 and 91 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 42 and 91 is 7, so

LCM = (42 × 91) ÷ 7

LCM = 3822 ÷ 7

LCM = 546

Finding LCM for 42 and 91 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 42 and 91 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

Multiples of 42: 42, 84, 126, 168, 210, 252, 294, 336, 378, 420, 462, 504, 546, 588, 630

Multiples of 91: 91, 182, 273, 364, 455, 546, 637, 728

So the LCM for 42 and 91 is 546

Finding LCM for 42 and 91 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 42 and 91 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 91: 7, 13 (exponent form: 71, 131)

21 × 31 × 71 × 131 = 546
