What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 52?

Answer

LCM of 8 and 52 is
104

First common multiples: 104, 208, 312, …

104 is divisible by both: 104 ÷ 8 = 13, 104 ÷ 52 = 2 — and 13 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 13 and of y/52 by 2.

8 = 23

52 = 22 × 13

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

LCM = 23 × 13 = 104
