What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10 and 275?

Answer

LCM of 10 and 275 is
550

First common multiples: 550; 1,100; 1,650; …

550 is divisible by both: 550 ÷ 10 = 55, 550 ÷ 275 = 2 — and 55 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/10 by 55 and of y/275 by 2.

10 = 2 × 5

275 = 52 × 11
