What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 72 and 76?

Answer: LCM of 72 and 76 is 1,368

(One thousand, three hundred sixty-eight)

Finding LCM for 72 and 76 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 72 and 76 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 72 and 76 is 4, so

LCM = (72 × 76) ÷ 4

LCM = 5472 ÷ 4

LCM = 1368
