What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 280?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 280 is
840

First common multiples: 840; 1,680; 2,520; …

840 is divisible by both: 840 ÷ 30 = 28, 840 ÷ 280 = 3 — and 28 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/30 by 28 and of y/280 by 3.

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

280 = 23 × 5 × 7
