40(1) = 40
40(2) = 80
40(3) = 120
40(4) = 160
40(5) = 200
40(6) = 240
48(1) = 48
48(2) = 96
48(3) = 144
48(4) = 192
48(5) = 240
A Trick:
Take the GCF of the two.
40 = (2)(2)(2)(5)
48 = (2)(2)(2)(2)(3)
GCF = (2)(2)(2) = 8
Strike the GCF out
40 = (2)(2)(2)(5)
48 = (2)(2)(2)(2)(3)
Multiply one of the numbers by the remaining factors of the other number.
40(2)(3) = 240
48(5) = 240
