What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6 and 20?

Answer

LCM of 6 and 20 is

First common multiples: 60, 120, 180, …

60 is divisible by both: 60 ÷ 6 = 10, 60 ÷ 20 = 3 — and 10 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/6 by 10 and of y/20 by 3.

6 = 2 × 3

20 = 2² × 5

Prime	6	20	Highest power
2	2	2²	2²
3	3	—	3
5	—	5	5

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

LCM = 2² × 3 × 5 = 60
