What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 156 and 260?

Answer

LCM of 156 and 260 is
780

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

780 is divisible by both: 780 ÷ 156 = 5, 780 ÷ 260 = 3 — and 5 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/156 by 5 and of y/260 by 3.

156 = 22 × 3 × 13

260 = 22 × 5 × 13
