What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 315?

Answer

LCM of 60 and 315 is
1,260

First common multiples: 1,260; 2,520; 3,780; …

1,260 is divisible by both: 1,260 ÷ 60 = 21; 1,260 ÷ 315 = 4 — and 21 and 4 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/60 by 21 and of y/315 by 4.

60 = 22 × 3 × 5

315 = 32 × 5 × 7
