LCM for 200 and 240

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 200 and 240?

Answer: LCM of 200 and 240 is 1,200

(One thousand, two hundred)

Finding LCM for 200 and 240 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 200 and 240 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 200 and 240 is 40, so

LCM = (200 × 240) ÷ 40

LCM = 48000 ÷ 40

LCM = 1200

Finding LCM for 200 and 240 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 200 and 240 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 200: 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600

Multiples of 240: 240, 480, 720, 960, 1200, 1440, 1680

So the LCM for 200 and 240 is 1200

Finding LCM for 200 and 240 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 200 and 240 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 200: 2, 2, 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 23, 52)

All Prime Factors of 240: 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 24, 31, 51)

24 × 52 × 31 = 1200
