Finding LCM for 48 and 56 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 48 and 56 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 48 and 56 is 8, so
LCM = (48 × 56) ÷ 8
LCM = 2688 ÷ 8
LCM = 336
Finding LCM for 48 and 56 by Listing Multiples
