What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 56?
Answer
LCM of 18 and 56 is
504
First common multiples: 504; 1,008; 1,512; …
504 is divisible by both: 504 ÷ 18 = 28, 504 ÷ 56 = 9 — and 28 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 28 and of y/56 by 9.
18 = 2 × 32
56 = 23 × 7
| Prime | 18 | 56 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 23 | 23 |
| 3 | 32 | — | 32 |
| 7 | — | 7 | 7 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 23 × 32 × 7 = 504
