What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 21 and 25?

Answer

LCM of 21 and 25 is
525

First common multiples: 525; 1,050; 1,575; …

525 is divisible by both: 525 ÷ 21 = 25, 525 ÷ 25 = 21 — and 25 and 21 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/21 by 25 and of y/25 by 21.

21 and 25 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 21 × 25 = 525.

21 = 3 × 7

25 = 52
