What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 25 and 60?

Answer

LCM of 25 and 60 is
300

First common multiples: 300, 600, 900, …

300 is divisible by both: 300 ÷ 25 = 12, 300 ÷ 60 = 5 — and 12 and 5 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/25 by 12 and of y/60 by 5.

25 = 52

60 = 22 × 3 × 5

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 22 × 3 × 52 = 300
