What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9, 10 and 28?

Answer

LCM of 9, 10 and 28 is
1,260

First common multiples: 1,260; 2,520; 3,780; …

1,260 is divisible by all three: 1,260 ÷ 9 = 140; 1,260 ÷ 10 = 126; 1,260 ÷ 28 = 45 — and 140, 126 and 45 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/9 by 140 and of y/10 by 126 and of z/28 by 45.

9 = 32

10 = 2 × 5

28 = 22 × 7
