What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 325?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 325 is
650

First common multiples: 650; 1,300; 1,950; …

650 is divisible by both: 650 ÷ 50 = 13, 650 ÷ 325 = 2 — and 13 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/50 by 13 and of y/325 by 2.

50 = 2 × 52

325 = 52 × 13
