LCM for 120 and 168
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 168?
Answer
(Eight hundred forty)
Finding LCM for 120 and 168 using GCF 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 = 20,160 ÷ 24
LCM = 840
Finding LCM for 120 and 168 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 168 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 120: 120, 240, 360, 480, 600, 720, 840, 960, 1,080
Multiples of 168: 168, 336, 504, 672, 840, 1,008, 1,176
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
