What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 52 and 68?

Answer

LCM of 52 and 68 is
884

First common multiples: 884; 1,768; 2,652; …

884 is divisible by both: 884 ÷ 52 = 17, 884 ÷ 68 = 13 — and 17 and 13 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/52 by 17 and of y/68 by 13.

52 = 22 × 13

68 = 22 × 17
