What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 400?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 400 is
1,200

First common multiples: 1,200; 2,400; 3,600; …

1,200 is divisible by both: 1,200 ÷ 30 = 40; 1,200 ÷ 400 = 3 — and 40 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 40 and of y/400 by 3.

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

400 = 24 × 52

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 24 × 3 × 52 = 1,200
