Lowest common multiple (LCM)

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 27 and 45?

    135

    The highest common factor of 27 and 45 is 9, so LCM = (27 × 45) ÷ 9 = 135.

  2. 2. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 35 and 42?

    210

    The highest common factor of 35 and 42 is 7, so LCM = (35 × 42) ÷ 7 = 210.

  3. 3. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 22 and 77?

    154

    The highest common factor of 22 and 77 is 11, so LCM = (22 × 77) ÷ 11 = 154.

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

    60

    The highest common factor of 10 and 12 is 2, so LCM = (10 × 12) ÷ 2 = 60.

  5. 5. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 24 and 32?

    96

    The highest common factor of 24 and 32 is 8, so LCM = (24 × 32) ÷ 8 = 96.

  6. 6. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 28 and 49?

    196

    The highest common factor of 28 and 49 is 7, so LCM = (28 × 49) ÷ 7 = 196.

  7. 7. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 14?

    42

    The highest common factor of 6 and 14 is 2, so LCM = (6 × 14) ÷ 2 = 42.

  8. 8. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 55 and 66?

    330

    The highest common factor of 55 and 66 is 11, so LCM = (55 × 66) ÷ 11 = 330.

  9. 9. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 27 and 63?

    189

    The highest common factor of 27 and 63 is 9, so LCM = (27 × 63) ÷ 9 = 189.

  10. 10. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 44 and 77?

    308

    The highest common factor of 44 and 77 is 11, so LCM = (44 × 77) ÷ 11 = 308.

  11. 11. 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.

  12. 12. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 30 and 42?

    210

    The highest common factor of 30 and 42 is 6, so LCM = (30 × 42) ÷ 6 = 210.
