So, the LCM of 446, 452 is 100796.

One method for determining the LCM of 446 and 452 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 446's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 446 are 2,223.

446 = 2¹×223¹

And this is 452's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 452 are 2,113.

452 = 2²×113¹

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: 2,223,113

2²×113¹×223¹ = 100796

This shows that the LCM of 446 and 452 is 100796.

The first step in determining the Least Common Multiple of 446 and 452 is to generate a list of multiples for each number.

Lets look at the multiples of these two numbers, 446 and 452:

Lets look at the first ten multiples of these numbers, 446 and 452:

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

452,904,1356,1808,2260,2712,3164,3616,4068,7684 are the first ten multiples of 452.

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 446 and 452, for example, are 5352, 7582, and 7232. 100796 is the least common multiple since it is the smallest.

446 and 452 have an LCM of 100796.

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 446 and 452, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(446,452) = 2
LCM(446,452) = ( 446 × 452) / 2
LCM(446,452) = 201592 / 2
LCM(446,452) = 100796
