What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17 and 59?

Answer

LCM of 17 and 59 is
1,003

First common multiples: 1,003; 2,006; 3,009; …

1,003 is divisible by both: 1,003 ÷ 17 = 59; 1,003 ÷ 59 = 17 — and 59 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 59 and of y/59 by 17.

17 and 59 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 17 × 59 = 1,003.
