(One thousand, two hundred ninety-six)

Finding LCM for 48 and 81 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 48 and 81 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 48 and 81 is 3, so

LCM = (48 × 81) ÷ 3

LCM = 3888 ÷ 3

LCM = 1296
