What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 21 and 69?

Answer

LCM of 21 and 69 is
483

First common multiples: 483; 966; 1,449; …

483 is divisible by both: 483 ÷ 21 = 23, 483 ÷ 69 = 7 — and 23 and 7 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/21 by 23 and of y/69 by 7.
