To find pairs of numbers with a least common multiple (LCM) of 40, we need to consider the prime factorization of 40, which is 2^3 * 5. Any pair of numbers whose prime factorization includes these factors can have a LCM of 40. For example, 8 and 10 have a LCM of 40 because 8 = 2^3 and 10 = 2 * 5. Another pair could be 20 and 40, as both have the prime factors of 40.

Oh, dude, pairs of numbers whose Least Common Multiple (LCM) is 40 could be like 8 and 40, 5 and 40, or even 1 and 40. I mean, you could also have 10 and 40, but who's really keeping track, right? As long as the LCM is 40, you're good to go!
Well, honey, any pair of numbers that have 40 as their least common multiple would include 40 and any multiple of 40. So, for example, 40 and 80, or 40 and 120. As long as one of the numbers is a multiple of 40, you're good to go. Hope that clears things up for ya!
2 and 40 4 and 10
If the numbers are x and y then x + y = 40 x - y = 10 so x = 25, y = 15 Then LCM(x, y) = LCM(25, 15) = 75
The least common multiple is the smallest number that is multiple of two or more numbers. 24: 48, 72, 96, 120 40: 40, 80, 120 The LCM for 24 and 40 is 120.
The LCM of 35 and 40 is 280, which is the multiple of the combined prime factors of both numbers (2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7).
There are many possible answers. One possible pair is 2 and 40.
