What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 29?

Answer

LCM of 12 and 29 is
348

First common multiples: 348; 696; 1,044; …

348 is divisible by both: 348 ÷ 12 = 29, 348 ÷ 29 = 12 — and 29 and 12 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/12 by 29 and of y/29 by 12.

12 and 29 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 12 × 29 = 348.

12 = 22 × 3
