What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 23 and 60?

Answer

LCM of 23 and 60 is
1,380

First common multiples: 1,380; 2,760; 4,140; …

1,380 is divisible by both: 1,380 ÷ 23 = 60; 1,380 ÷ 60 = 23 — and 60 and 23 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/23 by 60 and of y/60 by 23.

23 and 60 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 23 × 60 = 1,380.
