What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 80 and 84?

Answer

LCM of 80 and 84 is
1,680

First common multiples: 1,680; 3,360; 5,040; …

1,680 is divisible by both: 1,680 ÷ 80 = 21; 1,680 ÷ 84 = 20 — and 21 and 20 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/80 by 21 and of y/84 by 20.

80 = 24 × 5

84 = 22 × 3 × 7
