What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 130?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 130 is
650

First common multiples: 650; 1,300; 1,950; …

650 is divisible by both: 650 ÷ 50 = 13, 650 ÷ 130 = 5 — and 13 and 5 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/50 by 13 and of y/130 by 5.

50 = 2 × 52

130 = 2 × 5 × 13
