What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 7 and 10?

Answer

LCM of 4, 7 and 10 is
140

First common multiples: 140, 280, 420, …

140 is divisible by all three: 140 ÷ 4 = 35, 140 ÷ 7 = 20, 140 ÷ 10 = 14 — and 35, 20 and 14 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/4 by 35 and of y/7 by 20 and of z/10 by 14.

4 = 22

7 — prime

10 = 2 × 5
