What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4 and 59?

Answer

LCM of 4 and 59 is
236

First common multiples: 236, 472, 708, …

236 is divisible by both: 236 ÷ 4 = 59, 236 ÷ 59 = 4 — and 59 and 4 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/4 by 59 and of y/59 by 4.

4 and 59 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 4 × 59 = 236.

4 = 22

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 22 × 59 = 236
