LCM for 8 and 25
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 25?
(Two hundred)
Finding LCM for 8 and 25 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 8 and 25 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 8 and 25 is 1, so
LCM = (8 × 25) ÷ 1
LCM = 200 ÷ 1
LCM = 200
Finding LCM for 8 and 25 by Listing Multiples
