Identify the Prime Factors of 48 and 160 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 48: 48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24 x 31
Prime Factorization of 160: 160 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 25 x 51
Prime Factors of 48 and 160: 2, 3 and 5
Least Common Multiple of 48 and 160 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(48,160) = 25 x 31 x 51
LCM(48,160) = 32 x 3 x 5
LCM(48,160) = 480
