What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 55 and 125?

Answer: LCM of 55 and 125 is 1,375

(One thousand, three hundred seventy-five)

Finding LCM for 55 and 125 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 55 and 125 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 55 and 125 is 5, so

LCM = (55 × 125) ÷ 5

LCM = 6875 ÷ 5

LCM = 1375

Finding LCM for 55 and 125 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 55 and 125 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 55: 55, 110, 165, 220, 275, 330, 385, 440, 495, 550, 605, 660, 715, 770, 825, 880, 935, 990, 1045, 1100, 1155, 1210, 1265, 1320, 1375, 1430, 1485

Multiples of 125: 125, 250, 375, 500, 625, 750, 875, 1000, 1125, 1250, 1375, 1500, 1625
