Answer

LCM of 60 and 160 is
480

First common multiples: 480; 960; 1,440; …

480 is divisible by both: 480 ÷ 60 = 8, 480 ÷ 160 = 3 — and 8 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/60 by 8 and of y/160 by 3.

60 = 22 × 3 × 5

160 = 25 × 5
