What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 32 and 81?

Answer

LCM of 32 and 81 is
2,592

First common multiples: 2,592; 5,184; 7,776; …

2,592 is divisible by both: 2,592 ÷ 32 = 81; 2,592 ÷ 81 = 32 — and 81 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 81 and of y/81 by 32.

32 and 81 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 32 × 81 = 2,592.

32 = 25

81 = 34
