What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 45 and 76?

Answer

LCM of 45 and 76 is
3,420

First common multiples: 3,420; 6,840; 10,260; …

3,420 is divisible by both: 3,420 ÷ 45 = 76; 3,420 ÷ 76 = 45 — and 76 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 76 and of y/76 by 45.

45 and 76 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 45 × 76 = 3,420.

45 = 32 × 5

76 = 22 × 19

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 22 × 32 × 5 × 19 = 3,420
