What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 22 and 51?

Answer

LCM of 22 and 51 is
1,122

First common multiples: 1,122; 2,244; 3,366; …

1,122 is divisible by both: 1,122 ÷ 22 = 51; 1,122 ÷ 51 = 22 — and 51 and 22 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/22 by 51 and of y/51 by 22.

22 and 51 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 22 × 51 = 1,122.

22 = 2 × 11

51 = 3 × 17
