What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 13 and 56?

Answer

LCM of 13 and 56 is
728

First common multiples: 728; 1,456; 2,184; …

728 is divisible by both: 728 ÷ 13 = 56, 728 ÷ 56 = 13 — and 56 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 56 and of y/56 by 13.

13 and 56 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 13 × 56 = 728.
