What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 80?

Answer

LCM of 30 and 80 is
240

First common multiples: 240, 480, 720, …

240 is divisible by both: 240 ÷ 30 = 8, 240 ÷ 80 = 3 — and 8 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 8 and of y/80 by 3.

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

80 = 24 × 5

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

LCM = 24 × 3 × 5 = 240
