What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2 and 27?

Answer

LCM of 2 and 27 is

First common multiples: 54, 108, 162, …

54 is divisible by both: 54 ÷ 2 = 27, 54 ÷ 27 = 2 — and 27 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/2 by 27 and of y/27 by 2.

2 and 27 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 2 × 27 = 54.

2 — prime

27 = 3³

Prime	2	27	Highest power
2	2	—	2
3	—	3³	3³

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 2 × 3³ = 54
