What is the LCM of 100 and 117?

Answer 1

Expressing both numbers as the product of prime numbers helps in finding out what is shared by both numbers.

100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5

117 = 3 x 3 x 13

It can be seen that nothing is common between 100 and 17 or in simple words the GCF is 1.

For two numbers p and q where GCF(p, q) is r then LCM = (p*q)/r

So, LCM is equal to product to 100 and 170 divided by 1.

LCM(100, 117) = 11700.

Answer 2

Their product.
