What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 32 and 53?

Answer

LCM of 32 and 53 is
1,696

First common multiples: 1,696; 3,392; 5,088; …

1,696 is divisible by both: 1,696 ÷ 32 = 53; 1,696 ÷ 53 = 32 — and 53 and 32 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/32 by 53 and of y/53 by 32.

32 and 53 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 32 × 53 = 1,696.

32 = 25
