What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 53?

Answer

LCM of 24 and 53 is
1,272

First common multiples: 1,272; 2,544; 3,816; …

1,272 is divisible by both: 1,272 ÷ 24 = 53; 1,272 ÷ 53 = 24 — and 53 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 53 and of y/53 by 24.

24 and 53 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 24 × 53 = 1,272.

24 = 23 × 3
