Question

Find the least common multiple of the numbers.

240, 340

Short answer

The least common multiply is 4080.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information

Given numbers $\left(240,340\right)$.

Step 2. Calculation 

Find separately the least common multiple of each number.

$\begin{array}{l}240=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 5\\ 340=2\times 2\times 5\times 17\end{array}$

Therefore, least common multiple of 240,340.

$2\times 2\times 5\times 17\times 2\times 2\times 3=4080$

Thus, least common multiple of 240, 340 is 4080.
