What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 37?

Answer

LCM of 18 and 37 is
666

First common multiples: 666; 1,332; 1,998; …

666 is divisible by both: 666 ÷ 18 = 37, 666 ÷ 37 = 18 — and 37 and 18 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/18 by 37 and of y/37 by 18.

18 and 37 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 18 × 37 = 666.
