What is LCM of 306 and 657?


What is LCM of two numbers?

In mathematics, least common multiple which is commonly known as LCM is defined as the smallest non-zero number which is divisible by both given numbers 306 and 657.

Properties of LCM

  • LCM follows associative property, that means LCM(306, 657) = LCM(657, 306).
  • LCM follows commutative property, which means LCM(a, b, c) = LCM(LCM(a, b), c) = LCM(a, LCM(b, c)).
  • LCM follows distributive property, which means LCM(ab, bc, ad) = d * LCM(x, y, z).
  • The LCM of two given numbers is never less than any of those numbers. Eg- LCM of 306 and 657 is 22338, where 306 and 657 are less than 22338.
  • The LCM of two or more prime numbers is their product.

Steps to find LCM of 306 and 657 by Common Division Method

Example: Find lcm of 306 and 657 by Common Division Method

2 306 657
3 153 657
3 51 219
17 17 73
73 1 73
1 1

Hence, LCM of 306 and 657 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 17 x 73 = 22338.

Steps to find lcm of 306 and 657 by Formula

Example: Find lcm of 306 and 657 by Formula

  • GCF of 306 and 657 = 9
  • LCM of 306 and 657 = (306 x 657) / 9
  • => 201042 / 9

Examples

A shopkeeper sells candies in packet of 306 and chocolates in packet of 657. What is the least number of candies and chocolates Annie should buy so that there will be one candy for each chocolate?

The least number of candies and chocolates Annie should buy so that there will be one candy for each chocolate we need to find the lcm of 306 and 657.
So, LCM of 306 and 657 is 22338.

Both the cricket team and the rugby team had games, today. The cricket team plays every 306 days and the basketball team plays every 657 days. When will both teams have games on the same day again?

Given that the cricket team plays every 306 days and the basketball team plays every 657 days, so for finding the next time when both teams will play again we need to find the LCM of 306 and 657.
So, LCM of 306 and 657 is 22338.

Steve spends 306 dollars every day while George spends 657 dollars every day. What is the least number of days it will take each person to spend the same amount of money?
