LCM for 9 and 17
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 17?
(One hundred fifty-three)
Finding LCM for 9 and 17 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 17 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 9 and 17 is 1, so
LCM = (9 × 17) ÷ 1
LCM = 153 ÷ 1
LCM = 153
Finding LCM for 9 and 17 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 17 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, 117, 126, 135, 144, 153, 162, 171
Multiples of 17: 17, 34, 51, 68, 85, 102, 119, 136, 153, 170, 187
So the LCM for 9 and 17 is 153
Finding LCM for 9 and 17 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 17 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 9: 3, 3 (exponent form: 32)
All Prime Factors of 17: 17 (exponent form: 171)
32 × 171 = 153
