Finding LCM for 32 and 40 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 32 and 40 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 32 and 40 is 8, so
LCM = (32 × 40) ÷ 8
LCM = 1280 ÷ 8
LCM = 160
Finding LCM for 32 and 40 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 32 and 40 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 32: 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224
Multiples of 40: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240
So the LCM for 32 and 40 is 160
