What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 17?
Answer
LCM of 8 and 17 is
136
First common multiples: 136, 272, 408, …
136 is divisible by both: 136 ÷ 8 = 17, 136 ÷ 17 = 8 — and 17 and 8 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/8 by 17 and of y/17 by 8.
8 and 17 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 8 × 17 = 136.
8 = 23
17 — prime
| Prime | 8 | 17 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 23 | — | 23 |
| 17 | — | 17 | 17 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 23 × 17 = 136
