What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36 and 49?

Answer

LCM of 36 and 49 is
1,764

First common multiples: 1,764; 3,528; 5,292; …

1,764 is divisible by both: 1,764 ÷ 36 = 49; 1,764 ÷ 49 = 36 — and 49 and 36 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/36 by 49 and of y/49 by 36.

36 and 49 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 36 × 49 = 1,764.

36 = 22 × 32

49 = 72
