What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 23 and 24?

Answer

LCM of 23 and 24 is
552

First common multiples: 552; 1,104; 1,656; …

552 is divisible by both: 552 ÷ 23 = 24, 552 ÷ 24 = 23 — and 24 and 23 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/23 by 24 and of y/24 by 23.

23 and 24 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 23 × 24 = 552.
