What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 19 and 26?

Answer

LCM of 19 and 26 is
494

First common multiples: 494; 988; 1,482; …

494 is divisible by both: 494 ÷ 19 = 26, 494 ÷ 26 = 19 — and 26 and 19 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/19 by 26 and of y/26 by 19.

19 and 26 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 19 × 26 = 494.
