What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 125?

Answer

LCM of 20 and 125 is
500

First common multiples: 500; 1,000; 1,500; …

500 is divisible by both: 500 ÷ 20 = 25, 500 ÷ 125 = 4 — and 25 and 4 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/20 by 25 and of y/125 by 4.

20 = 22 × 5

125 = 53

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 22 × 53 = 500
