What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 45 and 100?

Answer

LCM of 45 and 100 is
900

First common multiples: 900; 1,800; 2,700; …

900 is divisible by both: 900 ÷ 45 = 20, 900 ÷ 100 = 9 — and 20 and 9 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/45 by 20 and of y/100 by 9.

45 = 32 × 5

100 = 22 × 52
