What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 26 and 40?
Answer
LCM of 26 and 40 is
520
First common multiples: 520; 1,040; 1,560; …
520 is divisible by both: 520 ÷ 26 = 20, 520 ÷ 40 = 13 — and 20 and 13 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/26 by 20 and of y/40 by 13.
26 = 2 × 13
40 = 23 × 5
| Prime | 26 | 40 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 23 | 23 |
| 5 | — | 5 | 5 |
| 13 | 13 | — | 13 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 23 × 5 × 13 = 520
