What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 29?

Answer

LCM of 9 and 29 is
261

First common multiples: 261, 522, 783, …

261 is divisible by both: 261 ÷ 9 = 29, 261 ÷ 29 = 9 — and 29 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 29 and of y/29 by 9.

9 and 29 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 9 × 29 = 261.
