LCM for 80 and 96
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 80 and 96?
(Four hundred eighty)
Finding LCM for 80 and 96 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 80 and 96 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 80 and 96 is 16, so
LCM = (80 × 96) ÷ 16
LCM = 7680 ÷ 16
LCM = 480
Finding LCM for 80 and 96 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 80 and 96 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
Multiples of 96: 96, 192, 288, 384, 480, 576, 672
So the LCM for 80 and 96 is 480
Finding LCM for 80 and 96 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 80 and 96 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 96: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 (exponent form: 25, 31)
25 × 51 × 31 = 480
