What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5 and 27?
Answer
LCM of 5 and 27 is
135
First common multiples: 135, 270, 405, …
135 is divisible by both: 135 ÷ 5 = 27, 135 ÷ 27 = 5 — and 27 and 5 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/5 by 27 and of y/27 by 5.
5 and 27 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 5 × 27 = 135.
5 — prime
27 = 33
| Prime | 5 | 27 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | — | 33 | 33 |
| 5 | 5 | — | 5 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 33 × 5 = 135
