What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 35 and 36?

Answer

LCM of 35 and 36 is
1,260

First common multiples: 1,260; 2,520; 3,780; …

1,260 is divisible by both: 1,260 ÷ 35 = 36; 1,260 ÷ 36 = 35 — and 36 and 35 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/35 by 36 and of y/36 by 35.

35 and 36 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 35 × 36 = 1,260.

35 = 5 × 7

36 = 22 × 32
