LCM for 36 and 75

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36 and 75?

Answer: LCM of 36 and 75 is 900

(Nine hundred)

Finding LCM for 36 and 75 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 75 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 36 and 75 is 3, so

LCM = (36 × 75) ÷ 3

LCM = 2700 ÷ 3

LCM = 900

Finding LCM for 36 and 75 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 75 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 36: 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, 324, 360, 396, 432, 468, 504, 540, 576, 612, 648, 684, 720, 756, 792, 828, 864, 900, 936, 972

Multiples of 75: 75, 150, 225, 300, 375, 450, 525, 600, 675, 750, 825, 900, 975, 1050

So the LCM for 36 and 75 is 900

Finding LCM for 36 and 75 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 36 and 75 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 36: 2, 2, 3, 3 (exponent form: 22, 32)

All Prime Factors of 75: 3, 5, 5 (exponent form: 31, 52)

22 × 32 × 52 = 900
