What is the least common multiple of 46 and 69? (LCM of 46 and 69)?

What is the Least Common Multiple of 46 and 69?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 46 and 69 is the smallest positive number that is a multiple of both 46 and 69.

Here we will show you two different ways to figure out the Least Common Multiple of 46 and 69.

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 46 are:
2 x 23

The prime factor(s) of 69 are:
3 x 23

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

2 x 3 x 23

Then you can multiply those numbers together to get the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 46 and 69 as follows:

138

To find the Least Common Multiple of 46 and 69, you can also make a list of multiples of 46 and a list of multiples of 69.
