What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 32?
Answer
LCM of 12 and 32 is
96
First common multiples: 96, 192, 288, …
96 is divisible by both: 96 ÷ 12 = 8, 96 ÷ 32 = 3 — and 8 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/12 by 8 and of y/32 by 3.
12 = 22 × 3
32 = 25

|---|---|---|---|

| 3 | 3 | — | 3 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
