Lowest common multiple (LCM)

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 27 and 36?

    108

    The highest common factor of 27 and 36 is 9, so LCM = (27 × 36) ÷ 9 = 108.

  2. 2. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 25?

    50

    The highest common factor of 10 and 25 is 5, so LCM = (10 × 25) ÷ 5 = 50.

  3. 3. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 35 and 49?

    245

    The highest common factor of 35 and 49 is 7, so LCM = (35 × 49) ÷ 7 = 245.

  4. 4. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 36 and 48?

    144

    The highest common factor of 36 and 48 is 12, so LCM = (36 × 48) ÷ 12 = 144.

  5. 5. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 36 and 60?

    180

    The highest common factor of 36 and 60 is 12, so LCM = (36 × 60) ÷ 12 = 180.

  6. 6. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 24 and 36?

    72

    The highest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12, so LCM = (24 × 36) ÷ 12 = 72.

  7. 7. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 9 and 15?

    45

    The highest common factor of 9 and 15 is 3, so LCM = (9 × 15) ÷ 3 = 45.

  8. 8. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 25 and 35?

    175

    The highest common factor of 25 and 35 is 5, so LCM = (25 × 35) ÷ 5 = 175.

  9. 9. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 18?

    90

    The highest common factor of 15 and 18 is 3, so LCM = (15 × 18) ÷ 3 = 90.

  10. 10. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 21?

    84

    The highest common factor of 12 and 21 is 3, so LCM = (12 × 21) ÷ 3 = 84.

  11. 11. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 24 and 84?

    168

    The highest common factor of 24 and 84 is 12, so LCM = (24 × 84) ÷ 12 = 168.

  12. 12. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 16 and 28?

    112

    The highest common factor of 16 and 28 is 4, so LCM = (16 × 28) ÷ 4 = 112.
