What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 45 and 54?

Answer

LCM of 45 and 54 is
270

First common multiples: 270, 540, 810, …

270 is divisible by both: 270 ÷ 45 = 6, 270 ÷ 54 = 5 — and 6 and 5 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/45 by 6 and of y/54 by 5.

45 = 32 × 5

54 = 2 × 33
