What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 70 and 80?
(Five hundred sixty)
Finding LCM for 70 and 80 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 70 and 80 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 70 and 80 is 10, so
LCM = (70 × 80) ÷ 10
LCM = 5600 ÷ 10
LCM = 560
Finding LCM for 70 and 80 by Listing Multiples
