What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40 and 465?

Answer

LCM of 40 and 465 is
3,720

First common multiples: 3,720; 7,440; 11,160; …

3,720 is divisible by both: 3,720 ÷ 40 = 93; 3,720 ÷ 465 = 8 — and 93 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 93 and of y/465 by 8.

40 = 23 × 5

465 = 3 × 5 × 31
