What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 285?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 285 is 570

(Five hundred seventy)

Finding LCM for 30 and 285 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 30 and 285 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 30 and 285 is 15, so

LCM = (30 × 285) ÷ 15

LCM = 8550 ÷ 15

LCM = 570

Finding LCM for 30 and 285 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 30 and 285 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

Multiples of 30: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, 420, 450, 480, 510, 540, 570, 600, 630

Multiples of 285: 285, 570, 855, 1140

So the LCM for 30 and 285 is 570

Finding LCM for 30 and 285 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 30 and 285 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 30: 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 21, 31, 51)

All Prime Factors of 285: 3, 5, 19 (exponent form: 31, 51, 191)

21 × 31 × 51 × 191 = 570
