LCM for 10, 20 and 30
"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10, 20 and 30?
Answer
LCM of 10, 20 and 30 is
60
First common multiples: 60, 120, 180, …
60 is divisible by all three: 60 ÷ 10 = 6, 60 ÷ 20 = 3, 60 ÷ 30 = 2 — and 6, 3 and 2 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 6 and of y/20 by 3 and of z/30 by 2.
10 = 2 × 5
20 = 22 × 5
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
| Prime | 10 | 20 | 30 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 22 | 2 | 22 |
| 3 | — | — | 3 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 22 × 3 × 5 = 60
