LCM for 120 and 144
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 144?
(Seven hundred twenty)
Finding LCM for 120 and 144 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 144 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 120 and 144 is 24, so
LCM = (120 × 144) ÷ 24
LCM = 17280 ÷ 24
LCM = 720
