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

The second method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 300 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 300: 300, 600, 900, 1200

So the LCM for 120 and 300 is 600

Finding LCM for 120 and 300 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 300 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 300: 2, 2, 3, 5, 5 (exponent form: 22, 31, 52)

23 × 31 × 52 = 600
