What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 56 and 60?
Answer
LCM of 56 and 60 is
840
First common multiples: 840; 1,680; 2,520; …
840 is divisible by both: 840 ÷ 56 = 15, 840 ÷ 60 = 14 — and 15 and 14 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/56 by 15 and of y/60 by 14.
56 = 23 × 7
60 = 22 × 3 × 5
| Prime | 56 | 60 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 23 | 22 | 23 |
| 3 | — | 3 | 3 |
| 5 | — | 5 | 5 |
| 7 | 7 | — | 7 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 23 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 840
