LCM for 22 and 40
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 22 and 40?
(Four hundred forty)
Finding LCM for 22 and 40 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 22 and 40 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 22 and 40 is 2, so
LCM = (22 × 40) ÷ 2
LCM = 880 ÷ 2
LCM = 440
Finding LCM for 22 and 40 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 22 and 40 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 22: 22, 44, 66, 88, 110, 132, 154, 176, 198, 220, 242, 264, 286, 308, 330, 352, 374, 396, 418, 440, 462, 484
Multiples of 40: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360, 400, 440, 480, 520
So the LCM for 22 and 40 is 440
Finding LCM for 22 and 40 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 22 and 40 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 22: 2, 11 (exponent form: 21, 111)
All Prime Factors of 40: 2, 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 23, 51)
23 × 111 × 51 = 440
