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
