"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10, 20 and 40?
Answer
LCM of 10, 20 and 40 is
40
First common multiples: 40, 80, 120, …
40 is divisible by all three: 40 ÷ 10 = 4, 40 ÷ 20 = 2, 40 ÷ 40 = 1 — and 4, 2 and 1 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 4 and of y/20 by 2.
10 = 2 × 5
20 = 22 × 5
40 = 23 × 5
| Prime | 10 | 20 | 40 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 22 | 23 | 23 |
| 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
LCM = 23 × 5 = 40
