What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 43 and 46?

Answer

LCM of 43 and 46 is 1,978

(One thousand, nine hundred seventy-eight)

Finding LCM for 43 and 46 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 43 and 46 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 43 and 46 is 1, so

LCM = (43 × 46) ÷ 1

LCM = 1978 ÷ 1

LCM = 1978

Finding LCM for 43 and 46 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 43 and 46 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

Multiples of 43: 43, 86, 129, 172, 215, 258, 301, 344, 387, 430, 473, 516, 559, 602, 645, 688, 731, 774, 817, 860, 903, 946, 989, 1032, 1075, 1118, 1161, 1204, 1247, 1290, 1333, 1376, 1419, 1462, 1505, 1548, 1591, 1634, 1677, 1720, 1763, 1806, 1849, 1892, 1935, 1978, 2021, 2064

Multiples of 46: 46, 92, 138, 184, 230, 276, 322, 368, 414, 460, 506, 552, 598, 644, 690, 736, 782, 828, 874, 920, 966, 1012, 1058, 1104, 1150, 1196, 1242, 1288, 1334, 1380, 1426, 1472, 1518, 1564, 1610, 1656, 1702, 1748, 1794, 1840, 1886, 1932, 1978, 2024, 2070

So the LCM for 43 and 46 is 1978

Finding LCM for 43 and 46 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 43 and 46 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 43: 43 (exponent form: 431)

All Prime Factors of 46: 2, 23 (exponent form: 21, 231)

431 × 21 × 231 = 1978
