What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 46 and 54?

Answer

LCM of 46 and 54 is
1,242

(One thousand two hundred forty-two)

Finding LCM for 46 and 54 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 54 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 46 and 54 is 2, so

LCM = (46 × 54) ÷ 2

LCM = 2,484 ÷ 2

LCM = 1,242

Finding LCM for 46 and 54 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 54 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, 1334

Multiples of 54: 54, 108, 162, 216, 270, 324, 378, 432, 486, 540, 594, 648, 702, 756, 810, 864, 918, 972, 1026, 1080, 1134, 1188, 1242, 1296, 1350

So the LCM for 46 and 54 is 1,242

Finding LCM for 46 and 54 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 54 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 54: 2, 3, 3, 3 (exponent form: 21, 33)

21 × 231 × 33 = 1,242
