What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 26 and 32?

Answer

LCM of 26 and 32 is
416

First common multiples: 416; 832; 1,248; …

416 is divisible by both: 416 ÷ 26 = 16, 416 ÷ 32 = 13 — and 16 and 13 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/26 by 16 and of y/32 by 13.

26 = 2 × 13

32 = 25
