What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 43?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 43 is
1,290

First common multiples: 1,290; 2,580; 3,870; …

1,290 is divisible by both: 1,290 ÷ 30 = 43; 1,290 ÷ 43 = 30 — and 43 and 30 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/30 by 43 and of y/43 by 30.

30 and 43 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 30 × 43 = 1,290.

30 = 2 × 3 × 5
