What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 60 and 500?

Answer

LCM of 60 and 500 is
1,500

First common multiples: 1,500; 3,000; 4,500; …

1,500 is divisible by both: 1,500 ÷ 60 = 25; 1,500 ÷ 500 = 3 — and 25 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 25 and of y/500 by 3.

60 = 22 × 3 × 5

500 = 22 × 53

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

LCM = 22 × 3 × 53 = 1,500
