LCM for 48 and 74
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 48 and 74?
(One thousand, seven hundred seventy-six)
Finding LCM for 48 and 74 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 48 and 74 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 48 and 74 is 2, so
LCM = (48 × 74) ÷ 2
LCM = 3552 ÷ 2
LCM = 1776
