What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 415?

Answer

LCM of 20 and 415 is
1,660

First common multiples: 1,660; 3,320; 4,980; …

1,660 is divisible by both: 1,660 ÷ 20 = 83; 1,660 ÷ 415 = 4 — and 83 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 83 and of y/415 by 4.

20 = 22 × 5

415 = 5 × 83
