LCM for 60 and 160
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 160?
(Four hundred eighty)
Finding LCM for 60 and 160 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 160 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 60 and 160 is 20, so
LCM = (60 × 160) ÷ 20
LCM = 9600 ÷ 20
LCM = 480
Finding LCM for 60 and 160 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 160 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 60: 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, 540, 600
Multiples of 160: 160, 320, 480, 640, 800
So the LCM for 60 and 160 is 480
Finding LCM for 60 and 160 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 160 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 160: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 25, 51)
25 × 31 × 51 = 480
