Do two whole numbers always have a least common multiple?
Yes. If A and B are any two whole numbers then A*B is a common multiple. Then either A*B is the least common multiple of A and B or one of its factors is.
What is the least common multiple of 2 coprime numbers?
The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of those two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. It the two numbers are coprime (or relatively prime), their greatest common factor is 1. Therefore, their least common multiple is a x b ÷ GCF (of a and b) = a x b ÷ 1 = a x b. The least common multiple of two coprime numbers is the numbers multiplied together.
Is the least common multiple of the denominators?
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators.
What is the least common multiple of 18 and 56?
The least common multiple of 18 , 56 = 504
What is the least common multiple of 36?
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 36, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common. Examples: The least common multiple of 27 and 36 is 108. The least common multiple of 32 and 36 is 288. The least common multiple of 36 and 72 is 72.
