What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10 and 46?

Answer

LCM of 10 and 46 is
230

First common multiples: 230, 460, 690, …

230 is divisible by both: 230 ÷ 10 = 23, 230 ÷ 46 = 5 — and 23 and 5 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/10 by 23 and of y/46 by 5.

10 = 2 × 5

46 = 2 × 23
