What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 140?

Answer: LCM of 60 and 140 is 420

(Four hundred twenty)

Finding LCM for 60 and 140 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 140 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 60 and 140 is 20, so

LCM = (60 × 140) ÷ 20

LCM = 8400 ÷ 20

LCM = 420

Finding LCM for 60 and 140 by Listing Multiples
