LCM for 105 and 225
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 105 and 225?
Answer
(One thousand five hundred seventy-five)
Finding LCM for 105 and 225 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 105 and 225 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 105 and 225 is 15, so
LCM = (105 × 225) ÷ 15
LCM = 23,625 ÷ 15
LCM = 1,575
Finding LCM for 105 and 225 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 105 and 225 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 105: 105, 210, 315, 420, 525, 630, 735, 840, 945, 1,050, 1,155, 1,260, 1,365, 1,470, 1,575, 1,680, 1,785
Multiples of 225: 225, 450, 675, 900, 1,125, 1,350, 1,575, 1,800, 2,025
So the LCM for 105 and 225 is 1,575
