Finding LCM for 7 and 20 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 7 and 20 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 7 and 20 is 1, so

LCM = (7 × 20) ÷ 1

LCM = 140 ÷ 1

LCM = 140

Finding LCM for 7 and 20 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 7 and 20 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105, 112, 119, 126, 133, 140, 147, 154

Multiples of 20: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180

So the LCM for 7 and 20 is 140

Finding LCM for 7 and 20 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 7 and 20 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 7: 7 (exponent form: 71)

All Prime Factors of 20: 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 22, 51)

71 × 22 × 51 = 140
