LCM for 20 and 285
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 285?
Answer
(One thousand, one hundred forty)
Finding LCM for 20 and 285 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 20 and 285 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 20 and 285 is 5, so
LCM = (20 × 285) ÷ 5
LCM = 5700 ÷ 5
LCM = 1140
Finding LCM for 20 and 285 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 20 and 285 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 20: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 400, 420, 440, 460, 480, 500, 520, 540, 560, 580, 600, 620, 640, 660, 680, 700, 720, 740, 760, 780, 800, 820, 840, 860, 880, 900, 920, 940, 960, 980, 1000, 1020, 1040, 1060, 1080, 1100, 1120, 1140, 1160, 1180
Multiples of 285: 285, 570, 855, 1140, 1425, 1710
So the LCM for 20 and 285 is 1140
Finding LCM for 20 and 285 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 20 and 285 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 20: 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 22, 51)
All Prime Factors of 285: 3, 5, 19 (exponent form: 31, 51, 191)
22 × 51 × 31 × 191 = 1140
