What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 495?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 495 is
990

First common multiples: 990; 1,980; 2,970; …

990 is divisible by both: 990 ÷ 30 = 33, 990 ÷ 495 = 2 — and 33 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/30 by 33 and of y/495 by 2.

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

495 = 32 × 5 × 11
