• Choice J

    Method 1 (Plugging in and is the quickest)

    Using your calculator, the quickest solution will be plugging in the answer choices from the least to the largest:

    Choice F: 6070=0.8571\frac{60}{70}=0.8571 and therefore eliminated;

    Choice G: 22070=3.1428\frac{220}{70}=3.1428 and therefore eliminated;

    Choice H: 63060=10.5\frac{630}{60}=10.5 and therefore eliminated;

    Choice J: 126060=21\frac{1260}{60}=21, 126070=18\frac{1260}{70}=18, 126090=14\frac{1260}{90}=14 and therefore is the answer.

    Method 2 (LCM by Division Method)

    FOIL!

    Therefore, LCM of 60, 70 and 90 = 10 \times 3 \times 2 \times 7 \times 3 = 1,260
