LCM for 120 and 168

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 168?

Answer: LCM of 120 and 168 is 840

(Eight hundred forty)

Finding LCM for 120 and 168 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 168 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 120 and 168 is 24, so

LCM = (120 × 168) ÷ 24

LCM = 20160 ÷ 24

LCM = 840

Finding LCM for 120 and 168 by Listing Multiples

Multiples of 120: 120, 240, 360, 480, 600, 720, 840, 960, 1080

Multiples of 168: 168, 336, 504, 672, 840, 1008, 1176

So the LCM for 120 and 168 is 840

Finding LCM for 120 and 168 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 168 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 120: 2, 2, 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 23, 31, 51)

All Prime Factors of 168: 2, 2, 2, 3, 7 (exponent form: 23, 31, 71)

23 × 31 × 51 × 71 = 840
