Answer: LCM of 56 and 68 is 952

(Nine hundred fifty-two)

Finding LCM for 56 and 68 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 56 and 68 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 56 and 68 is 4, so

LCM = (56 × 68) ÷ 4

LCM = 3808 ÷ 4

LCM = 952
