The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that can be divisible by all the numbers being compared.
The LCM can be calculated through a variety of formulas and methods. One such method is through prime factorization.
Least Common Multiple of 80 & 60First find the prime factorization of both numbers.The LCM can then be found by multiplying the highest power of each Prime number together. The highest power of the three prime numbers (2, 3, 5) here are (24, 3, and 5).
The least common multiple of 80 and 60 is 240.
List the multiples.
60: 60, 120, 180, 240, 300
80: 80, 160, 240, 320
240 is the first number to appear on both lists.
The LCM of 51 and 80 is 4080
The LCM is 60.
The least common multiple of 55 and 80 is 880.
This doesn't work. The LCM of a pair of numbers has to be equal to or larger than the largest number of the pair. If one of the numbers is 60, the other is 120. 60 and 120 have a GCF of 60, not an LCM.
The least common multiple of 3. 4 and 10 is 60.
1200 1200/80 = 15 1200/60 = 20
The LCM is: 1680
240
1680
It is: 240
The LCM of 20, 60, and 80 is 240
LCM of 12 and 20 is 60.
The LCM of these numbers is 720. LCM is Least Common Multiple.
The LCM is: 720
lcm(60,80) = 240
6000
The LCM is 80.
