Identify the Prime Factors of 36 and 56 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 36: 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 22 x 32
Prime Factorization of 56: 56 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 = 23 x 71
Prime Factors of 36 and 56: 2, 3 and 7
Least Common Multiple of 36 and 56 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(36,56) = 23 x 32 x 71
LCM(36,56) = 8 x 9 x 7
LCM(36,56) = 504
