What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 80 and 255?

Answer

LCM of 80 and 255 is
4,080

First common multiples: 4,080; 8,160; 12,240; …

4,080 is divisible by both: 4,080 ÷ 80 = 51; 4,080 ÷ 255 = 16 — and 51 and 16 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/80 by 51 and of y/255 by 16.

80 = 24 × 5

255 = 3 × 5 × 17
