What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17 and 52?

Answer

LCM of 17 and 52 is
884

First common multiples: 884; 1,768; 2,652; …

884 is divisible by both: 884 ÷ 17 = 52, 884 ÷ 52 = 17 — and 52 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 52 and of y/52 by 17.

17 and 52 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 17 × 52 = 884.
