What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 355?

Answer

LCM of 20 and 355 is
1,420

First common multiples: 1,420; 2,840; 4,260; …

1,420 is divisible by both: 1,420 ÷ 20 = 71; 1,420 ÷ 355 = 4 — and 71 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 71 and of y/355 by 4.

20 = 22 × 5

355 = 5 × 71
