What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 28 and 48?

Answer

LCM of 28 and 48 is
336

First common multiples: 336; 672; 1,008; …

336 is divisible by both: 336 ÷ 28 = 12, 336 ÷ 48 = 7 — and 12 and 7 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/28 by 12 and of y/48 by 7.

28 = 22 × 7

48 = 24 × 3
