What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 100 and 144?

Answer

LCM of 100 and 144 is
3,600

First common multiples: 3,600; 7,200; 10,800; …

3,600 is divisible by both: 3,600 ÷ 100 = 36; 3,600 ÷ 144 = 25 — and 36 and 25 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/100 by 36 and of y/144 by 25.

100 = 22 × 52

144 = 24 × 32
