What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 21 and 80?

Answer

LCM of 21 and 80 is
1,680

First common multiples: 1,680; 3,360; 5,040; …

1,680 is divisible by both: 1,680 ÷ 21 = 80; 1,680 ÷ 80 = 21 — and 80 and 21 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/21 by 80 and of y/80 by 21.

21 and 80 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 21 × 80 = 1,680.

21 = 3 × 7

80 = 24 × 5
