What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 53 and 56?

Answer

LCM of 53 and 56 is 2,968

(Two thousand, nine hundred sixty-eight)

Finding LCM for 53 and 56 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 53 and 56 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 53 and 56 is 1, so

LCM = (53 × 56) ÷ 1

LCM = 2968 ÷ 1

LCM = 2968

Finding LCM for 53 and 56 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 53 and 56 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

Multiples of 53: 53, 106, 159, 212, 265, 318, 371, 424, 477, 530, 583, 636, 689, 742, 795, 848, 901, 954, 1007, 1060, 1113, 1166, 1219, 1272, 1325, 1378, 1431, 1484, 1537, 1590, 1643, 1696, 1749, 1802, 1855, 1908, 1961, 2014, 2067, 2120, 2173, 2226, 2279, 2332, 2385, 2438, 2491, 2544, 2597, 2650, 2703, 2756, 2809, 2862, 2915, 2968, 3021, 3074

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, 1568, 1624, 1680, 1736, 1792, 1848, 1904, 1960, 2016, 2072, 2128, 2184, 2240, 2296, 2352, 2408, 2464, 2520, 2576, 2632, 2688, 2744, 2800, 2856, 2912, 2968, 3024, 3080
