What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 185?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 185 is
1,850

First common multiples: 1,850; 3,700; 5,550; …

1,850 is divisible by both: 1,850 ÷ 50 = 37; 1,850 ÷ 185 = 10 — and 37 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 37 and of y/185 by 10.

50 = 2 × 52

185 = 5 × 37
