What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 3?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 3 is
150

First common multiples: 150, 300, 450, …

150 is divisible by both: 150 ÷ 50 = 3, 150 ÷ 3 = 50 — and 3 and 50 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/50 by 3 and of y/3 by 50.

50 and 3 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 50 × 3 = 150.

50 = 2 × 52

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 2 × 3 × 52 = 150
