What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 50?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 50 is
150

First common multiples: 150, 300, 450, …

150 is divisible by both: 150 ÷ 30 = 5, 150 ÷ 50 = 3 — and 5 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 5 and of y/50 by 3.

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

50 = 2 × 52

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

LCM = 2 × 3 × 52 = 150
