What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 45?
Answer
LCM of 40 and 45 is
360
First common multiples: 360; 720; 1,080; …
360 is divisible by both: 360 ÷ 40 = 9, 360 ÷ 45 = 8 — and 9 and 8 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/40 by 9 and of y/45 by 8.
40 = 23 × 5
45 = 32 × 5
| Prime | 40 | 45 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 23 | — | 23 |
| 3 | — | 32 | 32 |
| 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 23 × 32 × 5 = 360
