What is LCM of 576 and 1440?


What is LCM of two numbers?

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 576 and 1440.

Properties of LCM

  • The LCM of two given numbers is never less than any of those numbers. Eg- LCM of 576 and 1440 is 2880, where 576 and 1440 are less than 2880.
  • LCM is associative which means LCM(576, 1440) = LCM(1440, 576).
  • LCM is commutative which means LCM(a, b, c) = LCM(LCM(a, b), c) = LCM(a, LCM(b, c)).
  • LCM is distributive, which means LCM(ab, bc, ad) = d * LCM(x, y, z).
  • The LCM of two or more prime numbers is their product.

Examples

Franky and Joy are running on a circular track. They start at the same time. They take 576 and 1440 minutes respectively to go round once. Find at what time they will run together?

Franky and Joy are running on a circular track. They take 576 and 1440 minutes respectively to go round once. We need to find out at what time (minimum) they will run together again. For this we need to find the LCM of 576 and 1440.
So, LCM of 576 and 1440 is 2880.

A shopkeeper sells candies in packet of 576 and chocolates in packet of 1440. What is the least number of candies and chocolates Annie should buy so that there will be one candy for each chocolate?

The least number of candies and chocolates Annie should buy so that there will be one candy for each chocolate we need to find the lcm of 576 and 1440.
So, LCM of 576 and 1440 is 2880.

Both the cricket team and the rugby team had games, today. The cricket team plays every 576 days and the basketball team plays every 1440 days. When will both teams have games on the same day again?

Given that the cricket team plays every 576 days and the basketball team plays every 1440 days, so for finding the next time when both teams will play again we need to find the LCM of 576 and 1440.
So, LCM of 576 and 1440 is 2880.

Sammy's company prints 576 textbooks at a time. Daniel's company prints textbooks in sets of 1440 at a time. According to a survey done by a committee, both companies printed the same number of textbooks last year. Find the least number of books that each company would have printed.

To find the least number of textbooks that each company could have printed we need to find the LCM of 576 and 1440.
So, LCM of 576 and 1440 is 2880.

Ariel exercises every 576 days and Rubel every 1440 days. They both excercised today. How many days will it be until they excercise together again?

The problem can be solved using LCM, because we are trying to figure out the least time until they excercise together again.
So, LCM of 576 and 1440 is 2880.

What is the relation between LCM and GCF( Greatest Common Factor)?

Greatest common factors or gcf of 576 and 1440 is GCF(576, 1440) * LCM(576, 1440) = (576 x 1440) / GCF(576, 1440) = 2880.
