LCM for 120 and 480

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 120 and 480?

Answer: LCM of 120 and 480 is 480

(Four hundred eighty)

Finding LCM for 120 and 480 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 480 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 120 and 480 is 120, so

LCM = (120 × 480) ÷ 120

LCM = 57600 ÷ 120

LCM = 480

Finding LCM for 120 and 480 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 480 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

Multiples of 480: 480, 960, 1440, 1920, 2400, 2880, [...], 480

So the LCM for 120 and 480 is 480

Finding LCM for 120 and 480 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 120 and 480 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 480: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 25, 31, 51)

25 × 31 × 51 = 480
