What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 45 and 57?

Answer

LCM of 45 and 57 is
855

First common multiples: 855; 1,710; 2,565; …

855 is divisible by both: 855 ÷ 45 = 19, 855 ÷ 57 = 15 — and 19 and 15 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/45 by 19 and of y/57 by 15.

45 = 32 × 5

57 = 3 × 19
