What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 58?

Answer

LCM of 20 and 58 is
580

First common multiples: 580; 1,160; 1,740; …

580 is divisible by both: 580 ÷ 20 = 29, 580 ÷ 58 = 10 — and 29 and 10 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/20 by 29 and of y/58 by 10.

20 = 22 × 5

58 = 2 × 29
