What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 23 and 57?

Answer

LCM of 23 and 57 is
1,311

First common multiples: 1,311; 2,622; 3,933; …

1,311 is divisible by both: 1,311 ÷ 23 = 57; 1,311 ÷ 57 = 23 — and 57 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 57 and of y/57 by 23.

23 and 57 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 23 × 57 = 1,311.
