What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 32 and 54?

Answer

LCM of 32 and 54 is
864

First common multiples: 864; 1,728; 2,592; …

864 is divisible by both: 864 ÷ 32 = 27, 864 ÷ 54 = 16 — and 27 and 16 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/32 by 27 and of y/54 by 16.

32 = 25

54 = 2 × 33
