LCM of 56 and 42 is 168
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 56 and 42.
Hence, LCM of 56 and 42 is 168.
| 2 | 56 42 |
| 2 | 28 21 |
| 2 | 14 21 |
| 3 | 7 21 |
| 7 | 7 7 |
| 1 1 |
Hence, LCM of 56 and 42 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 = 168.
Hence, LCM of 56 and 42 is 168.
