LCM for 9 and 78
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 78?
(Two hundred thirty-four)
Finding LCM for 9 and 78 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 78 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 9 and 78 is 3, so
LCM = (9 × 78) ÷ 3
LCM = 702 ÷ 3
LCM = 234
