What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 23 and 36?

Answer

LCM of 23 and 36 is
828

First common multiples: 828; 1,656; 2,484; …

828 is divisible by both: 828 ÷ 23 = 36, 828 ÷ 36 = 23 — and 36 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 36 and of y/36 by 23.

23 and 36 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 23 × 36 = 828.
