What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 305?

Answer

LCM of 20 and 305 is
1,220

First common multiples: 1,220; 2,440; 3,660; …

1,220 is divisible by both: 1,220 ÷ 20 = 61; 1,220 ÷ 305 = 4 — and 61 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 61 and of y/305 by 4.

20 = 22 × 5

305 = 5 × 61

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

LCM = 22 × 5 × 61 = 1,220
