LCM for 240 and 300

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 240 and 300?

Answer: LCM of 240 and 300 is 1,200

(One thousand, two hundred)

Finding LCM for 240 and 300 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 240 and 300 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 240 and 300 is 60, so

LCM = (240 × 300) ÷ 60

LCM = 72000 ÷ 60

LCM = 1200

Finding LCM for 240 and 300 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 240 and 300 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

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

Multiples of 300: 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500, 1800

So the LCM for 240 and 300 is 1200

Finding LCM for 240 and 300 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 240 and 300 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

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

All Prime Factors of 300: 2, 2, 3, 5, 5 (exponent form: 22, 31, 52)

24 × 31 × 52 = 1200
