What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 285?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 285 is
2,850

First common multiples: 2,850; 5,700; 8,550; …

2,850 is divisible by both: 2,850 ÷ 50 = 57; 2,850 ÷ 285 = 10 — and 57 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 57 and of y/285 by 10.

50 = 2 × 52

285 = 3 × 5 × 19
