"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10, 20 and 50?
Answer
LCM of 10, 20 and 50 is
100
First common multiples: 100, 200, 300, …
100 is divisible by all three: 100 ÷ 10 = 10, 100 ÷ 20 = 5, 100 ÷ 50 = 2 — and 10, 5 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 10 and of y/20 by 5 and of z/50 by 2.
10 = 2 × 5
20 = 22 × 5
50 = 2 × 52
| Prime | 10 | 20 | 50 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 22 | 2 | 22 |
| 5 | 5 | 5 | 52 | 52 |
LCM = 22 × 52 = 100
