What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 13?

Answer

LCM of 9 and 13 is
117

First common multiples: 117, 234, 351, …

117 is divisible by both: 117 ÷ 9 = 13, 117 ÷ 13 = 9 — and 13 and 9 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/9 by 13 and of y/13 by 9.

9 and 13 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 9 × 13 = 117.

9 = 32
