What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 56?
Answer
LCM of 30 and 56 is
840
First common multiples: 840; 1,680; 2,520; …
840 is divisible by both: 840 ÷ 30 = 28, 840 ÷ 56 = 15 — and 28 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 28 and of y/56 by 15.
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
56 = 23 × 7
| Prime | 30 | 56 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 23 | 23 |
| 3 | 3 | — | 3 |
| 5 | 5 | — | 5 |
| 7 | — | 7 | 7 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 23 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 840
