What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17 and 44?

Answer

LCM of 17 and 44 is
748

First common multiples: 748; 1,496; 2,244; …

748 is divisible by both: 748 ÷ 17 = 44, 748 ÷ 44 = 17 — and 44 and 17 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/17 by 44 and of y/44 by 17.

17 and 44 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 17 × 44 = 748.
