LCM for 6 and 47
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6 and 47?
(Two hundred eighty-two)
Finding LCM for 6 and 47 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 47 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 6 and 47 is 1, so
LCM = (6 × 47) ÷ 1
LCM = 282 ÷ 1
LCM = 282
Finding LCM for 6 and 47 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 47 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96, 102, 108, 114, 120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 156, 162, 168, 174, 180, 186, 192, 198, 204, 210, 216, 222, 228, 234, 240, 246, 252, 258, 264, 270, 276, 282, 288, 294
Multiples of 47: 47, 94, 141, 188, 235, 282, 329, 376
So the LCM for 6 and 47 is 282
Finding LCM for 6 and 47 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 47 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 6: 2, 3 (exponent form: 21, 31)
All Prime Factors of 47: 47 (exponent form: 471)
21 × 31 × 471 = 282
