LCM for 60 and 315

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 315?

Answer: LCM of 60 and 315 is 1,260

(One thousand, two hundred sixty)

Finding LCM for 60 and 315 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 315 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 60 and 315 is 15, so

LCM = (60 × 315) ÷ 15

LCM = 18900 ÷ 15

LCM = 1260
