What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 11 and 20?

Answer

LCM of 11 and 20 is
220

First common multiples: 220, 440, 660, …

220 is divisible by both: 220 ÷ 11 = 20, 220 ÷ 20 = 11 — and 20 and 11 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/11 by 20 and of y/20 by 11.

11 and 20 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 11 × 20 = 220.
