What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 50 and 88?

Answer

LCM of 50 and 88 is
2,200

First common multiples: 2,200; 4,400; 6,600; …

2,200 is divisible by both: 2,200 ÷ 50 = 44; 2,200 ÷ 88 = 25 — and 44 and 25 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/50 by 44 and of y/88 by 25.

50 = 2 × 52

88 = 23 × 11
