Answer: LCM of 30 and 480 is 480

(Four hundred eighty)

Finding LCM for 30 and 480 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 30 and 480 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 30 and 480 is 30, so

LCM = (30 × 480) ÷ 30

LCM = 14400 ÷ 30

LCM = 480

Finding LCM for 30 and 480 by Listing Multiples
