Finding LCM for 120 and 360 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 360 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 120 and 360 is 120, so

LCM = (120 × 360) ÷ 120

LCM = 43200 ÷ 120

LCM = 360

Finding LCM for 120 and 360 by Listing Multiples
