360

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First the prime factors-   2-36

                                         2-18

                                         3-9

                                         3-3

                                         0-1

So the prime factors of 36 is 2x2x3x3=36

then the prime factors of 40

                                          2-40

                                          2-20

                                          2-10

                                          5-5

                                           0-1

so the prime factors of 40 is 2x2x2x5=40

so the least common factor in both the prime factor is 2 so there there is no other common multiple so the answer is 2
