What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 27 and 100?

Answer

LCM of 27 and 100 is
2,700

First common multiples: 2,700; 5,400; 8,100; …

2,700 is divisible by both: 2,700 ÷ 27 = 100; 2,700 ÷ 100 = 27 — and 100 and 27 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/27 by 100 and of y/100 by 27.

27 and 100 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 27 × 100 = 2,700.

27 = 33
