What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 46 and 52?

Answer

LCM of 46 and 52 is 1,196

(One thousand, one hundred ninety-six)

Finding LCM for 46 and 52 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 52 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 46 and 52 is 2, so

LCM = (46 × 52) ÷ 2

LCM = 2392 ÷ 2

LCM = 1196

Finding LCM for 46 and 52 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 52 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

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

Multiples of 52: 52, 104, 156, 208, 260, 312, 364, 416, 468, 520, 572, 624, 676, 728, 780, 832, 884, 936, 988, 1040, 1092, 1144, 1196, 1248, 1300

So the LCM for 46 and 52 is 1196

Finding LCM for 46 and 52 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 52 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 52: 2, 2, 13 (exponent form: 22, 131)

22 × 231 × 131 = 1196
