LCM for 46 and 50
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 46 and 50?
(One thousand, one hundred fifty)
Finding LCM for 46 and 50 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 50 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 46 and 50 is 2, so
LCM = (46 × 50) ÷ 2
LCM = 2300 ÷ 2
LCM = 1150
Finding LCM for 46 and 50 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 50 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
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
Multiples of 50: 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, 1250
So the LCM for 46 and 50 is 1150
Finding LCM for 46 and 50 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 50 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 46: 2, 23 (exponent form: 21, 231)
All Prime Factors of 50: 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 21, 52)
21 × 231 × 52 = 1150
