LCM for 120 and 400

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 400?

Answer: LCM of 120 and 400 is 1,200

(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

Finding LCM for 120 and 400 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 400 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, 960, 1080, 1200, 1320, 1440

Multiples of 400: 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000

So the LCM for 120 and 400 is 1200

Finding LCM for 120 and 400 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 400 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 400: 2, 2, 2, 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 24, 52)

24 × 31 × 52 = 1200
