Answer: LCM of 60 and 84 is 420

(Four hundred twenty)

Finding LCM for 60 and 84 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 84 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 60 and 84 is 12, so

LCM = (60 × 84) ÷ 12

LCM = 5040 ÷ 12

LCM = 420

Finding LCM for 60 and 84 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 84 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

Multiples of 84: 84, 168, 252, 336, 420, 504, 588

So the LCM for 60 and 84 is 420

Finding LCM for 60 and 84 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 84 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 84: 2, 2, 3, 7 (exponent form: 22, 31, 71)

22 × 31 × 51 × 71 = 420
