What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 35 and 72?

Answer

LCM of 35 and 72 is
2,520

First common multiples: 2,520; 5,040; 7,560; …

2,520 is divisible by both: 2,520 ÷ 35 = 72; 2,520 ÷ 72 = 35 — and 72 and 35 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/35 by 72 and of y/72 by 35.

35 and 72 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 35 × 72 = 2,520.

35 = 5 × 7

72 = 23 × 32
