What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 295?

Answer

LCM of 20 and 295 is
1,180

First common multiples: 1,180; 2,360; 3,540; …

1,180 is divisible by both: 1,180 ÷ 20 = 59; 1,180 ÷ 295 = 4 — and 59 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 59 and of y/295 by 4.

20 = 22 × 5

295 = 5 × 59
