What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 38?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 38 is
570

First common multiples: 570; 1,140; 1,710; …

570 is divisible by both: 570 ÷ 30 = 19, 570 ÷ 38 = 15 — and 19 and 15 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/30 by 19 and of y/38 by 15.

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

38 = 2 × 19
