What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 28 and 46?

Answer

LCM of 28 and 46 is
644

First common multiples: 644; 1,288; 1,932; …

644 is divisible by both: 644 ÷ 28 = 23, 644 ÷ 46 = 14 — and 23 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 23 and of y/46 by 14.

28 = 22 × 7

46 = 2 × 23
