What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 45 and 55?

Answer

LCM of 45 and 55 is
495

First common multiples: 495; 990; 1,485; …

495 is divisible by both: 495 ÷ 45 = 11, 495 ÷ 55 = 9 — and 11 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 11 and of y/55 by 9.

45 = 32 × 5

55 = 5 × 11
