Use the LCM of two or more numbers Calculator to find the Least Common Multiple of numbers 231, 462 i.e. 462 smallest integer divisible by all numbers.
Least common multiple (LCM) of 231, 462 is 462.
LCM(231, 462) = 462
LCM of 231, 462
Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in three ways
- Least Common Multiple of 231, 462 by common division method
- Least Common Multiple of 231, 462 with GCF Formula
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 231,462 is 462
| 3 | 231, 462 |
| 7 | 77, 154 |
| 11 | 11, 22 |
| 1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 11 x 1 x 2 = 462
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 231,462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,462) = 231
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,462) x common factors =231 x 1 = 231
LCM(231,462) = ( 231 × 462 ) / 231
LCM(231,462) = 106722 / 231
LCM(231,462) = 462
∴ Least Common Multiple of 231,462 is 462
