What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 145?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 145 is
1,450

First common multiples: 1,450; 2,900; 4,350; …

1,450 is divisible by both: 1,450 ÷ 50 = 29; 1,450 ÷ 145 = 10 — and 29 and 10 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/50 by 29 and of y/145 by 10.

50 = 2 × 52

145 = 5 × 29
