What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 56 and 60?

Answer

LCM of 56 and 60 is 840

(Eight hundred forty)

Finding LCM for 56 and 60 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 56 and 60 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 56 and 60 is 4, so

LCM = (56 × 60) ÷ 4

LCM = 3360 ÷ 4

LCM = 840

Finding LCM for 56 and 60 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 56 and 60 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

Multiples of 56: 56, 112, 168, 224, 280, 336, 392, 448, 504, 560, 616, 672, 728, 784, 840, 896, 952

Multiples of 60: 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, 540, 600, 660, 720, 780, 840, 900, 960

So the LCM for 56 and 60 is 840

Finding LCM for 56 and 60 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 56 and 60 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 56: 2, 2, 2, 7 (exponent form: 23, 71)

All Prime Factors of 60: 2, 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 22, 31, 51)

23 × 71 × 31 × 51 = 840
