What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17 and 45?

Answer

LCM of 17 and 45 is
765

First common multiples: 765; 1,530; 2,295; …

765 is divisible by both: 765 ÷ 17 = 45, 765 ÷ 45 = 17 — and 45 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 45 and of y/45 by 17.

17 and 45 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 17 × 45 = 765.
