LCM for 75 and 80
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 75 and 80?
(One thousand, two hundred)
Finding LCM for 75 and 80 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 75 and 80 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 75 and 80 is 5, so
LCM = (75 × 80) ÷ 5
LCM = 6000 ÷ 5
LCM = 1200
