What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10, 12 and 14?

Answer

LCM of 10, 12 and 14 is
420

First common multiples: 420; 840; 1,260; …

420 is divisible by all three: 420 ÷ 10 = 42, 420 ÷ 12 = 35, 420 ÷ 14 = 30 — and 42, 35 and 30 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/10 by 42 and of y/12 by 35 and of z/14 by 30.

10 = 2 × 5

12 = 22 × 3

14 = 2 × 7
