What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 48 and 50?
Answer
LCM of 48 and 50 is
1,200
First common multiples: 1,200; 2,400; 3,600; …
1,200 is divisible by both: 1,200 ÷ 48 = 25; 1,200 ÷ 50 = 24 — and 25 and 24 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/48 by 25 and of y/50 by 24.
48 = 24 × 3
50 = 2 × 52
| Prime | 48 | 50 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 24 | 2 | 24 |
| 3 | 3 | — | 3 |
| 5 | — | 52 | 52 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 24 × 3 × 52 = 1,200
