What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 29 and 46?

Answer

LCM of 29 and 46 is
1,334

First common multiples: 1,334; 2,668; 4,002; …

1,334 is divisible by both: 1,334 ÷ 29 = 46; 1,334 ÷ 46 = 29 — and 46 and 29 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/29 by 46 and of y/46 by 29.

29 and 46 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 29 × 46 = 1,334.
