What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 49?

Answer

LCM of 24 and 49 is
1,176

First common multiples: 1,176; 2,352; 3,528; …

1,176 is divisible by both: 1,176 ÷ 24 = 49; 1,176 ÷ 49 = 24 — and 49 and 24 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/24 by 49 and of y/49 by 24.

24 and 49 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 24 × 49 = 1,176.

24 = 23 × 3

49 = 72
