LCM for 60 and 400
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 400?
Answer
(One thousand two hundred)
Finding LCM for 60 and 400 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 400 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 60 and 400 is 20, so
LCM = (60 × 400) ÷ 20
LCM = 24,000 ÷ 20
LCM = 1,200
Finding LCM for 60 and 400 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 400 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, 720, 780, 840, 900, 960, 1,020, 1,080, 1,140, 1,200, 1,260, 1,320
Multiples of 400: 400, 800, 1,200, 1,600, 2,000
So the LCM for 60 and 400 is 1,200
Finding LCM for 60 and 400 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 400 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 400: 2, 2, 2, 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 24, 52)
24 × 31 × 52 = 1,200
