LCM for 55 and 135
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 55 and 135?
(One thousand, four hundred eighty-five)
Finding LCM for 55 and 135 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 55 and 135 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 55 and 135 is 5, so
LCM = (55 × 135) ÷ 5
LCM = 7425 ÷ 5
LCM = 1485
