What is the Least Common Multiple of 252 and 264?
Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in two way; with the LCM formula calculation of greatest common factor (GCF), or multiplying the prime factors with the highest exponent factor.
Least common multiple (LCM) of 252 and 264 is 5544.
LCM(252,264) = 5544
Least Common Multiple of 252 and 264 with GCF Formula
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 252 and 264, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,264) = 12
LCM(252,264) = ( 252 × 264) / 12
LCM(252,264) = 66528 / 12
LCM(252,264) = 5544
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 252 and 264 with Primes
