What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36 and 64?

Answer

LCM of 36 and 64 is
576

First common multiples: 576; 1,152; 1,728; …

576 is divisible by both: 576 ÷ 36 = 16, 576 ÷ 64 = 9 — and 16 and 9 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/36 by 16 and of y/64 by 9.
