What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 27?

Answer

LCM of 8 and 27 is
216

First common multiples: 216, 432, 648, …

216 is divisible by both: 216 ÷ 8 = 27, 216 ÷ 27 = 8 — and 27 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 27 and of y/27 by 8.

8 and 27 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 8 × 27 = 216.

8 = 23

27 = 33

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

LCM = 23 × 33 = 216
