LCM for 45 and 76
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 45 and 76?
Answer
(Three thousand four hundred twenty)
Finding LCM for 45 and 76 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 45 and 76 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 45 and 76 is 1, so
LCM = (45 × 76) ÷ 1
LCM = 3,420 ÷ 1
LCM = 3,420
Finding LCM for 45 and 76 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 45 and 76 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
