What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 28 and 35?

Answer

LCM of 28 and 35 is
140

First common multiples: 140, 280, 420, …

140 is divisible by both: 140 ÷ 28 = 5, 140 ÷ 35 = 4 — and 5 and 4 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/28 by 5 and of y/35 by 4.

28 = 22 × 7

35 = 5 × 7
