One method for determining the LCM of 439 and 446 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 439's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 439 are 439.

439 = 439¹

And this is 446's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 446 are 2,223.

446 = 2¹×223¹

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:439, 2,223

2¹×223¹×439¹ = 195794

This shows that the LCM of 439 and 446 is 195794.

The first step in determining the Least Common Multiple of 439 and 446 is to generate a list of multiples for each number.

Lets look at the multiples of these two numbers, 439 and 446:

Lets look at the first ten multiples of these numbers, 439 and 446:

439,878,1317,1756,2195,2634,3073,3512,3951,7463 are the first ten multiples of 439.

446,892,1338,1784,2230,2676,3122,3568,4014,7582 are the first ten multiples of 446.

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 439 and 446, for example, are 5268, 7463, and 7136. 195794 is the least common multiple since it is the smallest.

439 and 446 have an LCM of 195794.

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 439 and 446, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(439,446) = 1
LCM(439,446) = ( 439 × 446) / 1
LCM(439,446) = 195794 / 1
LCM(439,446) = 195794
