What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 70?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 70 is
210

First common multiples: 210, 420, 630, …

210 is divisible by both: 210 ÷ 30 = 7, 210 ÷ 70 = 3 — and 7 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 7 and of y/70 by 3.

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

70 = 2 × 5 × 7
