LCM for 120 and 200

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 200?

Answer: LCM of 120 and 200 is 600

(Six hundred)

Finding LCM for 120 and 200 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 200 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 120 and 200 is 40, so

LCM = (120 × 200) ÷ 40

LCM = 24000 ÷ 40

LCM = 600

Finding LCM for 120 and 200 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 200 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

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

Multiples of 200: 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000

So the LCM for 120 and 200 is 600

Finding LCM for 120 and 200 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 200 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 200: 2, 2, 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 23, 52)

23 × 31 × 52 = 600
