What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 340?

Answer

LCM of 60 and 340 is
1,020

First common multiples: 1,020; 2,040; 3,060; …

1,020 is divisible by both: 1,020 ÷ 60 = 17; 1,020 ÷ 340 = 3 — and 17 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 17 and of y/340 by 3.

60 = 22 × 3 × 5

340 = 22 × 5 × 17
