What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 22?

Answer

LCM of 18 and 22 is
198

First common multiples: 198, 396, 594, …

198 is divisible by both: 198 ÷ 18 = 11, 198 ÷ 22 = 9 — and 11 and 9 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/18 by 11 and of y/22 by 9.

18 = 2 × 32

22 = 2 × 11
