What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 13 and 22?

Answer

LCM of 13 and 22 is
286

First common multiples: 286, 572, 858, …

286 is divisible by both: 286 ÷ 13 = 22, 286 ÷ 22 = 13 — and 22 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 22 and of y/22 by 13.

13 and 22 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 13 × 22 = 286.
