LCM for 48 and 96

The first method to find LCM for numbers 48 and 96 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 48 and 96 is 48, so

LCM = (48 × 96) ÷ 48

LCM = 4608 ÷ 48

LCM = 96

The second method to find LCM for numbers 48 and 96 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 48: 48, 96, 144, 192

Multiples of 96: 96, 192, 288, 384, 480, 576, 672, 768, 864, 960, 1056, 1152, 1248, 1344, 1440, 1536, 1632, 1728, 1824, 1920, 2016, 2112, 2208, 2304, 2400, 2496, 2592, 2688, 2784, 2880, 2976, 3072,
