LCM for 120 and 400
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 400?
(One thousand, two hundred)
Finding LCM for 120 and 400 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 400 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 120 and 400 is 40, so
LCM = (120 × 400) ÷ 40
LCM = 48000 ÷ 40
LCM = 1200
