What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 28 and 29?

Answer

LCM of 28 and 29 is
812

First common multiples: 812; 1,624; 2,436; …

812 is divisible by both: 812 ÷ 28 = 29, 812 ÷ 29 = 28 — and 29 and 28 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/28 by 29 and of y/29 by 28.

28 and 29 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 28 × 29 = 812.

28 = 22 × 7
