What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 35 and 60?

Answer

LCM of 35 and 60 is
420

First common multiples: 420; 840; 1,260; …

420 is divisible by both: 420 ÷ 35 = 12, 420 ÷ 60 = 7 — and 12 and 7 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/35 by 12 and of y/60 by 7.

35 = 5 × 7

60 = 22 × 3 × 5
