LCM for 120 and 300
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 300?
(Six hundred)
Finding LCM for 120 and 300 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 300 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 120 and 300 is 60, so
LCM = (120 × 300) ÷ 60
LCM = 36000 ÷ 60
LCM = 600
Finding LCM for 120 and 300 by Listing Multiples
