What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 19 and 40?

Answer

LCM of 19 and 40 is
760

First common multiples: 760; 1,520; 2,280; …

760 is divisible by both: 760 ÷ 19 = 40, 760 ÷ 40 = 19 — and 40 and 19 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/19 by 40 and of y/40 by 19.

19 and 40 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 19 × 40 = 760.
