What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 37 and 40?

Answer

LCM of 37 and 40 is 1,480

(One thousand, four hundred eighty)

Finding LCM for 37 and 40 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 37 and 40 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 37 and 40 is 1, so

LCM = (37 × 40) ÷ 1

LCM = 1480 ÷ 1

LCM = 1480

Finding LCM for 37 and 40 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 37 and 40 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

Multiples of 37: 37, 74, 111, 148, 185, 222, 259, 296, 333, 370, 407, 444, 481, 518, 555, 592, 629, 666, 703, 740, 777, 814, 851, 888, 925, 962, 999, 1036, 1073, 1110, 1147, 1184, 1221, 1258, 1295, 1332, 1369, 1406, 1443, 1480, 1517, 1554

Multiples of 40: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360, 400, 440, 480, 520, 560, 600, 640, 680, 720, 760, 800, 840, 880, 920, 960, 1000, 1040, 1080, 1120, 1160, 1200, 1240, 1280, 1320, 1360, 1400, 1440, 1480, 1520, 1560

So the LCM for 37 and 40 is 1480

Finding LCM for 37 and 40 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 37 and 40 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 37: 37 (exponent form: 371)

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

371 × 23 × 51 = 1480
