LCM for 60 and 108
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 108?
Answer
(Five hundred forty)
Finding LCM for 60 and 108 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 108 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 60 and 108 is 12, so
LCM = (60 × 108) ÷ 12
LCM = 6,480 ÷ 12
LCM = 540
Finding LCM for 60 and 108 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 108 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 60: 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, 540, 600, 660
Multiples of 108: 108, 216, 324, 432, 540, 648, 756
So the LCM for 60 and 108 is 540
Finding LCM for 60 and 108 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 108 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 60: 2, 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 22, 31, 51)
All Prime Factors of 108: 2, 2, 3, 3, 3 (exponent form: 22, 33)
22 × 33 × 51 = 540
