Finding LCM for 45 and 75 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 45 and 75 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 45 and 75 is 15, so

LCM = (45 × 75) ÷ 15

LCM = 3375 ÷ 15

LCM = 225
