LCM for 50 and 470
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 470?
Answer
(Two thousand, three hundred fifty)
Finding LCM for 50 and 470 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 50 and 470 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 50 and 470 is 10, so
LCM = (50 × 470) ÷ 10
LCM = 23500 ÷ 10
LCM = 2350
Finding LCM for 50 and 470 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 50 and 470 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 50: 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, 1250, 1300, 1350, 1400, 1450, 1500, 1550, 1600, 1650, 1700, 1750, 1800, 1850, 1900, 1950, 2000, 2050, 2100, 2150, 2200, 2250, 2300, 2350, 2400, 2450
Multiples of 470: 470, 940, 1410, 1880, 2350, 2820, 3290
So the LCM for 50 and 470 is 2350
