What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 23?
Answer
LCM of 20 and 23 is
460
First common multiples: 460; 920; 1,380; …
460 is divisible by both: 460 ÷ 20 = 23, 460 ÷ 23 = 20 — and 23 and 20 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/20 by 23 and of y/23 by 20.
20 and 23 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 20 × 23 = 460.
20 = 22 × 5
23 — prime
| Prime | 20 | 23 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 22 | — | 22 |
| 5 | 5 | — | 5 |
| 23 | — | 23 | 23 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 22 × 5 × 23 = 460
