Factors of 54
List of positive integer factors of 54 that divides 54 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 41 and 54, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,54) = 1
LCM(41,54) = ( 41 × 54) / 1
LCM(41,54) = 2214 / 1
LCM(41,54) = 2214
(i) The LCM of 54 and 41 is associative
LCM of 41 and 54 = LCM of 54 and 41
