LCM for 30 and 225
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 225?
(Four hundred fifty)
Finding LCM for 30 and 225 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 30 and 225 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 30 and 225 is 15, so
LCM = (30 × 225) ÷ 15
LCM = 6750 ÷ 15
LCM = 450
