What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10 and 225?

Answer

LCM of 10 and 225 is
450

First common multiples: 450; 900; 1,350; …

450 is divisible by both: 450 ÷ 10 = 45, 450 ÷ 225 = 2 — and 45 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/10 by 45 and of y/225 by 2.

10 = 2 × 5

225 = 32 × 52
