LCM for 40 and 392

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 392?

Answer: LCM of 40 and 392 is 1,960

(One thousand, nine hundred sixty)

Finding LCM for 40 and 392 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 392 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 40 and 392 is 8, so

LCM = (40 × 392) ÷ 8

LCM = 15680 ÷ 8

LCM = 1960
