LCM for 17 and 25
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17 and 25?
(Four hundred twenty-five)
Finding LCM for 17 and 25 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 17 and 25 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 17 and 25 is 1, so
LCM = (17 × 25) ÷ 1
LCM = 425 ÷ 1
LCM = 425
Finding LCM for 17 and 25 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 17 and 25 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 17: 17, 34, 51, 68, 85, 102, 119, 136, 153, 170, 187, 204, 221, 238, 255, 272, 289, 306, 323, 340, 357, 374, 391, 408, 425, 442, 459
Multiples of 25: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475
