What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 28 and 34?

Answer

LCM of 28 and 34 is
476

First common multiples: 476; 952; 1,428; …

476 is divisible by both: 476 ÷ 28 = 17, 476 ÷ 34 = 14 — and 17 and 14 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/28 by 17 and of y/34 by 14.
