LCM for 9 and 25
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 25?
(Two hundred twenty-five)
Finding LCM for 9 and 25 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 25 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 9 and 25 is 1, so
LCM = (9 × 25) ÷ 1
LCM = 225 ÷ 1
LCM = 225
Finding LCM for 9 and 25 by Listing Multiples
