What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 27 and 64?

Answer

LCM of 27 and 64 is
1,728

First common multiples: 1,728; 3,456; 5,184; …

1,728 is divisible by both: 1,728 ÷ 27 = 64; 1,728 ÷ 64 = 27 — and 64 and 27 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/27 by 64 and of y/64 by 27.

27 and 64 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 27 × 64 = 1,728.
