What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 48 and 82?

Answer: LCM of 48 and 82 is 1,968

(One thousand, nine hundred sixty-eight)

Finding LCM for 48 and 82 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 48 and 82 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 48 and 82 is 2, so

LCM = (48 × 82) ÷ 2

LCM = 3936 ÷ 2

LCM = 1968
