What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 104?

Answer

LCM of 24 and 104 is
312

First common multiples: 312, 624, 936, …

312 is divisible by both: 312 ÷ 24 = 13, 312 ÷ 104 = 3 — and 13 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/24 by 13 and of y/104 by 3.

24 = 23 × 3

104 = 23 × 13
