What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 46 and 52?

Answer

LCM of 46 and 52 is
1,196

First common multiples: 1,196; 2,392; 3,588; …

1,196 is divisible by both: 1,196 ÷ 46 = 26; 1,196 ÷ 52 = 23 — and 26 and 23 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/46 by 26 and of y/52 by 23.

46 = 2 × 23

52 = 22 × 13
