What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 56?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 56 is 1,400

(One thousand, four hundred)

Finding LCM for 50 and 56 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 50 and 56 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 50 and 56 is 2, so

LCM = (50 × 56) ÷ 2

LCM = 2800 ÷ 2

LCM = 1400

Finding LCM for 50 and 56 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 50 and 56 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

Multiples of 56: 56, 112, 168, 224, 280, 336, 392, 448, 504, 560, 616, 672, 728, 784, 840, 896, 952, 1008, 1064, 1120, 1176, 1232, 1288, 1344, 1400, 1456, 1512

So the LCM for 50 and 56 is 1400

Finding LCM for 50 and 56 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 50 and 56 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 50: 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 21, 52)

All Prime Factors of 56: 2, 2, 2, 7 (exponent form: 23, 71)

23 × 52 × 71 = 1400
