LCM for 40 and 144

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 144?

Answer: LCM of 40 and 144 is 720

(Seven hundred twenty)

Finding LCM for 40 and 144 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 144 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 40 and 144 is 8, so

LCM = (40 × 144) ÷ 8

LCM = 5760 ÷ 8

LCM = 720
