Answer: LCM of 6 and 47 is 282

(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
