What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 13 and 60?

Answer

LCM of 13 and 60 is
780

First common multiples: 780; 1,560; 2,340; …

780 is divisible by both: 780 ÷ 13 = 60, 780 ÷ 60 = 13 — and 60 and 13 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/13 by 60 and of y/60 by 13.

13 and 60 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 13 × 60 = 780.
