What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 31 and 32?

Answer

LCM of 31 and 32 is
992

First common multiples: 992; 1,984; 2,976; …

992 is divisible by both: 992 ÷ 31 = 32, 992 ÷ 32 = 31 — and 32 and 31 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/31 by 32 and of y/32 by 31.

31 and 32 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 31 × 32 = 992.
