What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 100?

Answer

LCM of 9 and 100 is
900

First common multiples: 900; 1,800; 2,700; …

900 is divisible by both: 900 ÷ 9 = 100, 900 ÷ 100 = 9 — and 100 and 9 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/9 by 100 and of y/100 by 9.

9 and 100 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 9 × 100 = 900.

9 = 32

100 = 22 × 52
