What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 55?

Answer

LCM of 14 and 55 is
770

First common multiples: 770; 1,540; 2,310; …

770 is divisible by both: 770 ÷ 14 = 55, 770 ÷ 55 = 14 — and 55 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 55 and of y/55 by 14.

14 and 55 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 14 × 55 = 770.

14 = 2 × 7

55 = 5 × 11
