LCM for 24 and 80

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 80?

Answer: LCM of 24 and 80 is 240

(Two hundred forty)

Finding LCM for 24 and 80 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 24 and 80 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 24 and 80 is 8, so

LCM = (24 × 80) ÷ 8

LCM = 1920 ÷ 8

LCM = 240
