What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 22?

Answer

LCM of 9 and 22 is
198

First common multiples: 198, 396, 594, …

198 is divisible by both: 198 ÷ 9 = 22, 198 ÷ 22 = 9 — and 22 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 22 and of y/22 by 9.

9 and 22 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 9 × 22 = 198.

9 = 32
