What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2, 10 and 15?

Answer

LCM of 2, 10 and 15 is
30

First common multiples: 30, 60, 90, …

30 is divisible by all three: 30 ÷ 2 = 15, 30 ÷ 10 = 3, 30 ÷ 15 = 2 — and 15, 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/2 by 15 and of y/10 by 3 and of z/15 by 2.

2 — prime

10 = 2 × 5

15 = 3 × 5
