LCM for 40 and 208

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 208?

Answer: LCM of 40 and 208 is 1,040

(One thousand, forty)

Finding LCM for 40 and 208 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 208 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 40 and 208 is 8, so

LCM = (40 × 208) ÷ 8

LCM = 8320 ÷ 8

LCM = 1040

Finding LCM for 40 and 208 by Listing Multiples
