What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5, 7 and 10?

Answer

LCM of 5, 7 and 10 is
70

First common multiples: 70, 140, 210, …

70 is divisible by all three: 70 ÷ 5 = 14, 70 ÷ 7 = 10, 70 ÷ 10 = 7 — and 14, 10 and 7 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/5 by 14 and of y/7 by 10 and of z/10 by 7.

5 — prime

7 — prime
