LCM for 40 and 256
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 256?
(One thousand, two hundred eighty)
Finding LCM for 40 and 256 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 256 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 40 and 256 is 8, so
LCM = (40 × 256) ÷ 8
LCM = 10240 ÷ 8
LCM = 1280
