What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 45 and 65?

Answer

LCM of 45 and 65 is
585

First common multiples: 585; 1,170; 1,755; …

585 is divisible by both: 585 ÷ 45 = 13, 585 ÷ 65 = 9 — and 13 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 13 and of y/65 by 9.
