LCM for 55 and 88
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 55 and 88?
(Four hundred forty)
Finding LCM for 55 and 88 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 55 and 88 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 55 and 88 is 11, so
LCM = (55 × 88) ÷ 11
LCM = 4840 ÷ 11
LCM = 440
Finding LCM for 55 and 88 by Listing Multiples
