LCM of 40 and 56 is 280
LCM stands for least common multiple. In mathematics, LCM of two numbers 40 and 56, is defined as the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both. It is written as LCM(40, 56).
Hence, LCM of 40 and 56 is 280.
| 2 | 40 56 |
| 2 | 20 28 |
| 2 | 10 14 |
| 5 | 5 7 |
| 7 | 1 7 |
| 1 1 |
Hence, LCM of 40 and 56 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 = 280.
Hence, LCM of 40 and 56 is 280.
