What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 60?

Answer: LCM of 24 and 60 is 120

(One hundred twenty)

Finding LCM for 24 and 60 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 24 and 60 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 24 and 60 is 12, so

LCM = (24 × 60) ÷ 12

LCM = 1440 ÷ 12

LCM = 120

Finding LCM for 24 and 60 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 24 and 60 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 24: 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168

Multiples of 60: 60, 120, 180, 240

So the LCM for 24 and 60 is 120

Finding LCM for 24 and 60 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 24 and 60 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 24: 2, 2, 2, 3 (exponent form: 2³, 3¹)

All Prime Factors of 60: 2, 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 2², 3¹, 5¹)

2³ × 3¹ × 5¹ = 120
