What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 29 and 55?

Answer

LCM of 29 and 55 is
1,595

First common multiples: 1,595; 3,190; 4,785; …

1,595 is divisible by both: 1,595 ÷ 29 = 55; 1,595 ÷ 55 = 29 — and 55 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 55 and of y/55 by 29.

29 and 55 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 29 × 55 = 1,595.
