What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 100 and 165?

Answer

LCM of 100 and 165 is
3,300

First common multiples: 3,300; 6,600; 9,900; …

3,300 is divisible by both: 3,300 ÷ 100 = 33; 3,300 ÷ 165 = 20 — and 33 and 20 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/100 by 33 and of y/165 by 20.

100 = 22 × 52

165 = 3 × 5 × 11
