Finding LCM for 40 and 60 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 60 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 40 and 60 is 20, so
LCM = (40 × 60) ÷ 20
LCM = 2400 ÷ 20
LCM = 120
Finding LCM for 40 and 60 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 60 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 40: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200
Multiples of 60: 60, 120, 180, 240
So the LCM for 40 and 60 is 120
Finding LCM for 40 and 60 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 60 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 60: 2, 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 22, 31, 51)
23 × 51 × 31 = 120
