LCM for 80 and 144
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 80 and 144?
Answer
(Seven hundred twenty)
Finding LCM for 80 and 144 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 80 and 144 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 80 and 144 is 16, so
LCM = (80 × 144) ÷ 16
LCM = 11,520 ÷ 16
LCM = 720
Finding LCM for 80 and 144 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 80 and 144 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 80: 80, 160, 240, 320, 400, 480, 560, 640, 720, 800, 880
Multiples of 144: 144, 288, 432, 576, 720, 864, 1,008
So the LCM for 80 and 144 is 720
