LCM for 40 and 900

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 900?

Answer: LCM of 40 and 900 is 1,800

(One thousand, eight hundred)

Finding LCM for 40 and 900 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 900 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 40 and 900 is 20, so

LCM = (40 × 900) ÷ 20

LCM = 36000 ÷ 20

LCM = 1800

Finding LCM for 40 and 900 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 900 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, 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

Multiples of 900: 900, 1800, 2700, 3600

So the LCM for 40 and 900 is 1800

Finding LCM for 40 and 900 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 40 and 900 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 900: 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5 (exponent form: 22, 32, 52)

23 × 52 × 32 = 1800
