LCM for 60 and 500
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 500?
Answer
(One thousand, five hundred)
Finding LCM for 60 and 500 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 500 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 60 and 500 is 20, so
LCM = (60 × 500) ÷ 20
LCM = 30000 ÷ 20
LCM = 1500
Finding LCM for 60 and 500 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 500 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, 1020, 1080, 1140, 1200, 1260, 1320, 1380, 1440, 1500, 1560, 1620
Multiples of 500: 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500
So the LCM for 60 and 500 is 1500
Finding LCM for 60 and 500 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 500 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 500: 2, 2, 5, 5, 5 (exponent form: 22, 53)
22 × 31 × 53 = 1500
