LCM for 180 and 240

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 180 and 240?

Answer: LCM of 180 and 240 is 720

(Seven hundred twenty)

Finding LCM for 180 and 240 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 180 and 240 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 180 and 240 is 60, so

LCM = (180 × 240) ÷ 60

LCM = 43200 ÷ 60

LCM = 720
