What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 15?

Answer: LCM of 9 and 15 is 45

(Forty-five)

Finding LCM for 9 and 15 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 15 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 9 and 15 is 3, so

LCM = (9 × 15) ÷ 3

LCM = 135 ÷ 3

LCM = 45

Finding LCM for 9 and 15 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 15 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63

Multiples of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75

So the LCM for 9 and 15 is 45

Finding LCM for 9 and 15 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 15 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 9: 3, 3 (exponent form: 3²)

All Prime Factors of 15: 3, 5 (exponent form: 3¹, 5¹)

3² × 5¹ = 45
