What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 11 and 21?

Answer

LCM of 11 and 21 is
231

First common multiples: 231, 462, 693, …

231 is divisible by both: 231 ÷ 11 = 21, 231 ÷ 21 = 11 — and 21 and 11 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/11 by 21 and of y/21 by 11.

11 and 21 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 11 × 21 = 231.
