What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15, 25 and 45?

Answer

LCM of 15, 25 and 45 is
225

First common multiples: 225, 450, 675, …

225 is divisible by all three: 225 ÷ 15 = 15, 225 ÷ 25 = 9, 225 ÷ 45 = 5 — and 15, 9 and 5 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/15 by 15 and of y/25 by 9 and of z/45 by 5.

15 = 3 × 5

25 = 52

45 = 32 × 5
