What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 25 and 26?

Answer

LCM of 25 and 26 is
650

First common multiples: 650; 1,300; 1,950; …

650 is divisible by both: 650 ÷ 25 = 26, 650 ÷ 26 = 25 — and 26 and 25 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/25 by 26 and of y/26 by 25.

25 and 26 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 25 × 26 = 650.

25 = 52

26 = 2 × 13
