LCM for 40 and 125
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 125?
Answer
(Thousand)
Finding LCM for 40 and 125 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 125 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 40 and 125 is 5, so
LCM = (40 × 125) ÷ 5
LCM = 5000 ÷ 5
LCM = 1000
Finding LCM for 40 and 125 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 125 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
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
Multiples of 125: 125, 250, 375, 500, 625, 750, 875, 1000, 1125, 1250
So the LCM for 40 and 125 is 1000
Finding LCM for 40 and 125 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 125 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 40: 2, 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 23, 51)
All Prime Factors of 125: 5, 5, 5 (exponent form: 53)
23 × 53 = 1000
