What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 11 and 26?

Answer

LCM of 11 and 26 is
286

First common multiples: 286, 572, 858, …

286 is divisible by both: 286 ÷ 11 = 26, 286 ÷ 26 = 11 — and 26 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 26 and of y/26 by 11.

11 and 26 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 11 × 26 = 286.
