LCM for 63 and 84
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 63 and 84?
(Two hundred fifty-two)
Finding LCM for 63 and 84 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 63 and 84 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 63 and 84 is 21, so
LCM = (63 × 84) ÷ 21
LCM = 5292 ÷ 21
LCM = 252
Finding LCM for 63 and 84 by Listing Multiples
