So, the LCM of 276, 282 is 12972.

One method for determining the LCM of 276 and 282 is to compare the prime factorization of each number. You can find the prime factorization for each number by following the instructions below:

Here is 276's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 276 are 2, 3,23.

276 = 2²×3¹×23¹

And this is 282's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 282 are 2, 3,47.

282 = 2¹×3¹×47¹

When comparing the prime factorization of these two numbers, look for the highest power to which each prime factor is raised. In this case, the following primary factors must be considered: 2, 3,23,47

2²×3¹×23¹×47¹ = 12972

This shows that the LCM of 276 and 282 is 12972.

The first step in determining the Least Common Multiple of 276 and 282 is to generate a list of multiples for each number.

Lets look at the multiples of these two numbers, 276 and 282:

Lets look at the first ten multiples of these numbers, 276 and 282:

276,552,828,1104,1380,1656,1932,2208,2484,4692 are the first ten multiples of 276.

282,564,846,1128,1410,1692,1974,2256,2538,4794 are the first ten multiples of 282.

You can continue to list the multiples of these numbers until you find a match. Once you have found a match, or several matches, the Least Common Multiple is the smallest of these matches. The first matching multiple(s) of 276 and 282, for example, are 3312, 4692, and 4512. 12972 is the least common multiple since it is the smallest.

276 and 282 have an LCM of 12972.

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 276 and 282, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(276,282) = 6
LCM(276,282) = ( 276 × 282) / 6
LCM(276,282) = 77832 / 6
LCM(276,282) = 12972
