LCM for 40 and 315
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 315?
Answer
(Two thousand, five hundred twenty)
Finding LCM for 40 and 315 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 315 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 40 and 315 is 5, so
LCM = (40 × 315) ÷ 5
LCM = 12600 ÷ 5
LCM = 2520
Finding LCM for 40 and 315 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 315 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, 1120, 1160, 1200, 1240, 1280, 1320, 1360, 1400, 1440, 1480, 1520, 1560, 1600, 1640, 1680, 1720, 1760, 1800, 1840, 1880, 1920, 1960, 2000, 2040, 2080, 2120, 2160, 2200, 2240, 2280, 2320, 2360, 2400, 2440, 2480, 2520, 2560, 2600
Multiples of 315: 315, 630, 945, 1260, 1575, 1890, 2205, 2520, 2835, 3150
So the LCM for 40 and 315 is 2520
