What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 31 and 53?

Answer

LCM of 31 and 53 is
1,643

First common multiples: 1,643; 3,286; 4,929; …

1,643 is divisible by both: 1,643 ÷ 31 = 53; 1,643 ÷ 53 = 31 — and 53 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 53 and of y/53 by 31.

31 and 53 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 31 × 53 = 1,643.
