What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 44?

Answer

LCM of 8 and 44 is
88

First common multiples: 88, 176, 264, …

88 is divisible by both: 88 ÷ 8 = 11, 88 ÷ 44 = 2 — and 11 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/8 by 11 and of y/44 by 2.

8 = 23

44 = 22 × 11
