LCM for 9 and 59
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 59?
Answer
(Five hundred thirty-one)
Finding LCM for 9 and 59 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 59 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 9 and 59 is 1, so
LCM = (9 × 59) ÷ 1
LCM = 531 ÷ 1
LCM = 531
Finding LCM for 9 and 59 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 59 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, 117, 126, 135, 144, 153, 162, 171, 180, 189, 198, 207, 216, 225, 234, 243, 252, 261, 270, 279, 288, 297, 306, 315, 324, 333, 342, 351, 360, 369, 378, 387, 396, 405, 414, 423, 432, 441, 450, 459, 468, 477, 486, 495, 504, 513, 522, 531, 540, 549
Multiples of 59: 59, 118, 177, 236, 295, 354, 413, 472, 531, 590, 649
So the LCM for 9 and 59 is 531
Finding LCM for 9 and 59 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 59 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 59: 59 (exponent form: 591)
32 × 591 = 531
