What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 175?

Answer

LCM of 20 and 175 is
700

First common multiples: 700; 1,400; 2,100; …

700 is divisible by both: 700 ÷ 20 = 35, 700 ÷ 175 = 4 — and 35 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 35 and of y/175 by 4.

20 = 22 × 5

175 = 52 × 7

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

LCM = 22 × 52 × 7 = 700
