What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 13 and 34?

Answer

LCM of 13 and 34 is
442

First common multiples: 442; 884; 1,326; …

442 is divisible by both: 442 ÷ 13 = 34, 442 ÷ 34 = 13 — and 34 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 34 and of y/34 by 13.

13 and 34 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 13 × 34 = 442.
