What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 13 and 8?

Answer

LCM of 13 and 8 is
104

First common multiples: 104, 208, 312, …

104 is divisible by both: 104 ÷ 13 = 8, 104 ÷ 8 = 13 — and 8 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 8 and of y/8 by 13.

13 and 8 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 13 × 8 = 104.
