LCM for 120 and 180
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 180?
(Three hundred sixty)
Finding LCM for 120 and 180 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 180 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 120 and 180 is 60, so
LCM = (120 × 180) ÷ 60
LCM = 21600 ÷ 60
LCM = 360
