The simplest way to answer this would be to multply them together:

5 x 9 = 45 which is your answer, although in some cases this wouldn't work, so the foolproof way of solving this would be to list all the multiples of each and find a common multiple:

i.e.

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95

9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99

Doing it this way you notice that there are actually 2 common multiples of 5 and 9 under 100.

It's also interesting to note that 45 is also a multiple of 90 and so on if you continued the list, all the common multiples would be a multiple of 45 (which is the lowest common multiple)
