LCM for 80 and 300
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 80 and 300?
(One thousand, two hundred)
Finding LCM for 80 and 300 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 80 and 300 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 80 and 300 is 20, so
LCM = (80 × 300) ÷ 20
LCM = 24000 ÷ 20
LCM = 1200
Finding LCM for 80 and 300 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 80 and 300 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 80: 80, 160, 240, 320, 400, 480, 560, 640, 720, 800, 880, 960, 1040, 1120, 1200, 1280, 1360
Multiples of 300: 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500, 1800
So the LCM for 80 and 300 is 1200
Finding LCM for 80 and 300 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 80 and 300 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 80: 2, 2, 2, 2, 5 (exponent form: 24, 51)
All Prime Factors of 300: 2, 2, 3, 5, 5 (exponent form: 22, 31, 52)
24 × 52 × 31 = 1200
