What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 44?
Answer
LCM of 12 and 44 is
132
First common multiples: 132, 264, 396, …
132 is divisible by both: 132 ÷ 12 = 11, 132 ÷ 44 = 3 — and 11 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 11 and of y/44 by 3.
12 = 22 × 3
44 = 22 × 11

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 22 | 22 | 22 |
| 3 | 3 | — | 3 |
| 11 | — | 11 | 11 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
