What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4 and 20?

Answer: LCM of 4 and 20 is 20

(Twenty)

Finding LCM for 4 and 20 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 4 and 20 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 4 and 20 is 4, so

LCM = (4 × 20) ÷ 4

LCM = 80 ÷ 4

LCM = 20

Finding LCM for 4 and 20 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 4 and 20 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28

Multiples of 20: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, [...], 20

So the LCM for 4 and 20 is 20

Finding LCM for 4 and 20 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 4 and 20 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 4: 2, 2 (exponent form: 2²)

All Prime Factors of 20: 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 2², 5¹)

2² × 5¹ = 20
