What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 270?

Answer: LCM of 60 and 270 is 540

(Five hundred forty)

Finding LCM for 60 and 270 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 270 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 60 and 270 is 30, so

LCM = (60 × 270) ÷ 30

LCM = 16200 ÷ 30

LCM = 540

Finding LCM for 60 and 270 by Listing Multiples

Multiples of 60: 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, 540, 600, 660

Multiples of 270: 270, 540, 810, 1080

So the LCM for 60 and 270 is 540

Finding LCM for 60 and 270 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 270 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 270: 2, 3, 3, 3, 5 (exponent form: 21, 33, 51)

22 × 33 × 51 = 540
