What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 45?

Answer

LCM of 14 and 45 is
630

First common multiples: 630; 1,260; 1,890; …

630 is divisible by both: 630 ÷ 14 = 45, 630 ÷ 45 = 14 — and 45 and 14 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/14 by 45 and of y/45 by 14.

14 and 45 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 14 × 45 = 630.

14 = 2 × 7

45 = 32 × 5
