What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 55?

Answer

LCM of 8 and 55 is
440

First common multiples: 440; 880; 1,320; …

440 is divisible by both: 440 ÷ 8 = 55, 440 ÷ 55 = 8 — and 55 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 55 and of y/55 by 8.

8 and 55 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 8 × 55 = 440.

8 = 23

55 = 5 × 11

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

LCM = 23 × 5 × 11 = 440
