LCM of 56 and 40 is 280
In mathematics, least common multiple which is commonly known as LCM is defined as the smallest non-zero number which is divisible by both given numbers 56 and 40.
Hence, LCM of 56 and 40 is 280.
| 2 | 56 40 |
| 2 | 28 20 |
| 2 | 14 10 |
| 5 | 7 5 |
| 7 | 7 1 |
| 1 1 |
Hence, LCM of 56 and 40 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 = 280.
Hence, LCM of 56 and 40 is 280.
