What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 45 and 46?

Answer

LCM of 45 and 46 is
2,070

First common multiples: 2,070; 4,140; 6,210; …

2,070 is divisible by both: 2,070 ÷ 45 = 46; 2,070 ÷ 46 = 45 — and 46 and 45 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/45 by 46 and of y/46 by 45.

45 and 46 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 45 × 46 = 2,070.

45 = 32 × 5

46 = 2 × 23
