LCM for 25 and 40

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 25 and 40?

Answer: LCM of 25 and 40 is 200

(Two hundred)

Finding LCM for 25 and 40 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 25 and 40 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 25 and 40 is 5, so

LCM = (25 × 40) ÷ 5

LCM = 1000 ÷ 5

LCM = 200

Finding LCM for 25 and 40 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 25 and 40 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 25: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250

Multiples of 40: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280

So the LCM for 25 and 40 is 200

Finding LCM for 25 and 40 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 25 and 40 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 25: 5, 5 (exponent form: 52)

All Prime Factors of 40: 2, 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 23, 51)

52 × 23 = 200
