106 is the LCM of 1 and 106.
where,
1 is a positive integer,
106 is a positive integer,
106 is the LCM of 1 and 106,
There is no common factors of 1 and 106 in {1, 2 x 53},
{1 x 2 x 53} in {1, 2 x 53} are the uncommon factors of 1 and 106.
Use in Mathematics: LCM of 1 and 106
The below are some of the mathematical applications where lcm of 1 and 106 can be used:
- to find the least number which is exactly divisible by 1 and 106.
- to find the common denominator for two fractions having 1 and 106 as denominators in the unlike fractions addition or subtraction.
In the context of lcm real world problems, the lcm of 1 and 106 helps to find the exact time when two similar and recurring events with different time schedule happens together at the same time. For example, the real world problems involve lcm in situations to find at what time the bells A and B all toll together, if bell A tolls at 1 seconds and bell B tolls at 106 seconds repeatedly. The answer is that all bells A and B toll together at 106 seconds for the first time, at 212 seconds for the second time, at 318 seconds for the third time and so on.
Important Notes: 1 and 106 lcm
The below are the important notes to be remembered while solving the lcm of 1 and 106:
- The common prime factors and the remaining prime factors of 1 and 106 should be multiplied to find the least common multiple of 1 and 106, when solving lcm by using prime factors method.
- The results of lcm of 1 and 106, and the lcm of 106 and 1 are identical, it means the order of given numbers in the lcm calculation doesn't affect the results.

Solved example using prime factors method:
What is the LCM of 1 and 106?
step 1
Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
A = 1
B = 106
What to be found:
find the lcm of 1 and 106
step 2 Find the prime factors of 1 and 106:
Prime factors of 1 = 1
Prime factors of 106 = 2 x 53
step 3Identify the repeated and non-repeated prime factors of 1 and 106:
Since there is no common factors between 1 and 106, multiplying the given numbers directly provides the LCM of
1 and 106.
= 1 x 106
= 106
lcm(1 and 106) = 106
Hence,
lcm of 1 and 106 is 106
This special division method is one of the easiest ways to understand the entire calculation to find the LCM of 1 and 106.
step 1 Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
Integers: 1 and 106
What to be found:
lcm (1, 106) = ?
step 2 Arrange the given integers in the horizontal form with space or comma separated format:
1 and 106
step 3 Choose the divisor which divides each or most of the given integers (1 and 106), divide each integers separately and write down the quotient in the next line right under the respective integers. Bring down the integer to the next line if any integer in 1 and 106 is not divisible by the selected divisor; repeat the same process until all the integers are brought to 1 as like below:
| 2 | 1 | 106 |
| 53 | 1 | 53 |
| 1 | 1 |
step 4 Multiply the divisors to find the lcm of 1 and 106:
= 2 x 53
= 106
LCM(1, 106) = 106
The LCM of two numbers 1 and 106 is 106
