What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 52 and 78?

Answer: LCM of 52 and 78 is 156

(One hundred fifty-six)

Finding LCM for 52 and 78 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 52 and 78 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 52 and 78 is 26, so

LCM = (52 × 78) ÷ 26

LCM = 4056 ÷ 26

LCM = 156

Finding LCM for 52 and 78 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 52 and 78 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 52: 52, 104, 156, 208, 260

Multiples of 78: 78, 156, 234, 312

So the LCM for 52 and 78 is 156

Finding LCM for 52 and 78 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 52 and 78 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 52: 2, 2, 13 (exponent form: 2², 13¹)

All Prime Factors of 78: 2, 3, 13 (exponent form: 2¹, 3¹, 13¹)

2² × 13¹ × 3¹ = 156
