What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 96?

Answer: LCM of 60 and 96 is 480

(Four hundred eighty)

Finding LCM for 60 and 96 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 96 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 60 and 96 is 12, so

LCM = (60 × 96) ÷ 12

LCM = 5760 ÷ 12

LCM = 480

Finding LCM for 60 and 96 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 96 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, 600

Multiples of 96: 96, 192, 288, 384, 480, 576, 672

So the LCM for 60 and 96 is 480

Finding LCM for 60 and 96 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 60 and 96 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 96: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 (exponent form: 25, 31)

25 × 31 × 51 = 480
