What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 100 and 125?

Answer

LCM of 100 and 125 is
500

First common multiples: 500; 1,000; 1,500; …

500 is divisible by both: 500 ÷ 100 = 5, 500 ÷ 125 = 4 — and 5 and 4 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/100 by 5 and of y/125 by 4.

100 = 22 × 52

125 = 53

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 22 × 53 = 500
