What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 54 and 138?

Answer: LCM of 54 and 138 is 1,242

(One thousand, two hundred forty-two)

Finding LCM for 54 and 138 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 54 and 138 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 54 and 138 is 6, so

LCM = (54 × 138) ÷ 6

LCM = 7452 ÷ 6

LCM = 1242
