LCM for 9 and 47
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 47?
(Four hundred twenty-three)
Finding LCM for 9 and 47 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 47 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 9 and 47 is 1, so
LCM = (9 × 47) ÷ 1
LCM = 423 ÷ 1
LCM = 423
