LCM for 86 and 96
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 86 and 96?
(Four thousand, one hundred twenty-eight)
Finding LCM for 86 and 96 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 86 and 96 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 86 and 96 is 2, so
LCM = (86 × 96) ÷ 2
LCM = 8256 ÷ 2
LCM = 4128
