What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 25 and 28?

Answer

LCM of 25 and 28 is
700

First common multiples: 700; 1,400; 2,100; …

700 is divisible by both: 700 ÷ 25 = 28, 700 ÷ 28 = 25 — and 28 and 25 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/25 by 28 and of y/28 by 25.

25 and 28 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 25 × 28 = 700.

25 = 52

28 = 22 × 7
