LCM for 46 and 58
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 46 and 58?
Answer
(One thousand three hundred thirty-four)
Finding LCM for 46 and 58 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 58 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 46 and 58 is 2, so
LCM = (46 × 58) ÷ 2
LCM = 2668 ÷ 2
LCM = 1334
Finding LCM for 46 and 58 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 58 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, 1380, 1426
Multiples of 58: 58, 116, 174, 232, 290, 348, 406, 464, 522, 580, 638, 696, 754, 812, 870, 928, 986, 1044, 1102, 1160, 1218, 1276, 1334, 1392, 1450
So the LCM for 46 and 58 is 1334
Finding LCM for 46 and 58 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 46 and 58 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 58: 2, 29 (exponent form: 21, 291)
21 × 231 × 291 = 1334
