LCM for 120 and 240

The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 240 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 120 and 240 is 120, so

LCM = (120 × 240) ÷ 120

LCM = 28800 ÷ 120

LCM = 240

The second method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 240 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 120: 120, 240, 360, 480

Multiples of 240: 240, 480, 720, 960, 1200, 1440, 1680, 1920, 2160, 2400, 2640, 2880, 3120, 3360, 3600, 3840, 4080, 4320, 4560, 4800, 5040, 5280, 5520, 5760, 6000, 6240, 6480, 6720, 6960, 7200, 7440,
