What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 31 and 46?

Answer

LCM of 31 and 46 is
1,426

First common multiples: 1,426; 2,852; 4,278; …

1,426 is divisible by both: 1,426 ÷ 31 = 46; 1,426 ÷ 46 = 31 — and 46 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 46 and of y/46 by 31.

31 and 46 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 31 × 46 = 1,426.
