What is the least common multiple of 24 and 86? (LCM of 24 and 86)?

What is the Least Common Multiple of 24 and 86?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 86 is the smallest positive number that is a multiple of both 24 and 86.

Here we will show you two different ways to figure out the Least Common Multiple of 24 and 86.

Our favorite way is to find the prime factors of each number and then merge them together to get the answer.

The prime factor(s) of 24 are:
2 x 2 x 2 x 3

The prime factor(s) of 86 are:
2 x 43

Merging them together using the least amount of factors, you get:

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 43

Then you can multiply those numbers together to get the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 86 as follows:

1032

To find the Least Common Multiple of 24 and 86, you can also make a list of multiples of 24 and a list of multiples of 86.

Multiples of 24 would be 24, 48, 72, 96 and so on.

Multiples of 86 would be 86, 172, 258, 344 and so on.

Now, compare the two lists to find the smallest number the two lists have in common, which is the Least Common Multiple of 24 and 86. You will once again see that the answer will be:
