What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 13 and 17?

Answer

LCM of 13 and 17 is
221

First common multiples: 221, 442, 663, …

221 is divisible by both: 221 ÷ 13 = 17, 221 ÷ 17 = 13 — and 17 and 13 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/13 by 17 and of y/17 by 13.

13 and 17 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 13 × 17 = 221.
