What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 245?

Answer

LCM of 60 and 245 is
2,940

First common multiples: 2,940; 5,880; 8,820; …

2,940 is divisible by both: 2,940 ÷ 60 = 49; 2,940 ÷ 245 = 12 — and 49 and 12 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/60 by 49 and of y/245 by 12.

60 = 22 × 3 × 5

245 = 5 × 72
