Question

find the LCM of 48 and 60​

Answer 1

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).

We need to calculate greatest common factor 48 and 60, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(48,60) = 12

LCM(48,60) = ( 48 × 60) / 12

LCM(48,60) = 2880 / 12

LCM(48,60) = 240
