What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 140?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 140 is
700

First common multiples: 700; 1,400; 2,100; …

700 is divisible by both: 700 ÷ 50 = 14, 700 ÷ 140 = 5 — and 14 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 14 and of y/140 by 5.

50 = 2 × 52

140 = 22 × 5 × 7
