What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 22 and 50?

Answer

LCM of 22 and 50 is
550

First common multiples: 550; 1,100; 1,650; …

550 is divisible by both: 550 ÷ 22 = 25, 550 ÷ 50 = 11 — and 25 and 11 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/22 by 25 and of y/50 by 11.

22 = 2 × 11

50 = 2 × 52
