(One hundred ninety-eight)
Finding LCM for 9 and 22 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 22 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 9 and 22 is 1, so
LCM = (9 × 22) ÷ 1
LCM = 198 ÷ 1
LCM = 198
