What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 50?

Answer: LCM of 40 and 50 is 200

(Two hundred)

Finding LCM for 40 and 50 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 50 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 40 and 50 is 10, so

LCM = (40 × 50) ÷ 10

LCM = 2000 ÷ 10

LCM = 200

Finding LCM for 40 and 50 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 50 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 40: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280

Multiples of 50: 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300

So the LCM for 40 and 50 is 200

Finding LCM for 40 and 50 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 50 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 40: 2, 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 2³, 5¹)

All Prime Factors of 50: 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 2¹, 5²)

2³ × 5² = 200
