What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 27?
Answer
LCM of 14 and 27 is
378
First common multiples: 378; 756; 1,134; …
378 is divisible by both: 378 ÷ 14 = 27, 378 ÷ 27 = 14 — and 27 and 14 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/14 by 27 and of y/27 by 14.
14 and 27 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 14 × 27 = 378.
14 = 2 × 7
27 = 33
| Prime | 14 | 27 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | — | 2 |
| 3 | — | 33 | 33 |
| 7 | 7 | — | 7 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 2 × 33 × 7 = 378
