What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 1,000?

Answer

LCM of 24 and 1,000 is
3,000

First common multiples: 3,000; 6,000; 9,000; …

3,000 is divisible by both: 3,000 ÷ 24 = 125; 3,000 ÷ 1,000 = 3 — and 125 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/24 by 125 and of y/1,000 by 3.

24 = 23 × 3

1,000 = 23 × 53
