What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2 and 33?

Answer

LCM of 2 and 33 is
66

First common multiples: 66, 132, 198, …

66 is divisible by both: 66 ÷ 2 = 33, 66 ÷ 33 = 2 — and 33 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 33 and of y/33 by 2.

2 and 33 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 2 × 33 = 66.
