What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 100 and 225?

Answer

LCM of 100 and 225 is
900

First common multiples: 900; 1,800; 2,700; …

900 is divisible by both: 900 ÷ 100 = 9, 900 ÷ 225 = 4 — and 9 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 9 and of y/225 by 4.

100 = 22 × 52

225 = 32 × 52
