LCM of 87 and 145 is_______?
Correct answer: B. 435
- A. 1305
- B. 435
- C. 875
- D. 48
Explanation
Since 87 = 3 x 29 and 145 = 5 x 29, their HCF is 29 and their LCM is 3 x 5 x 29 = 435. Equivalently, 87 x 145 / 29 = 435. The likely distractor is 1305, which is the product 87 x 15 and does not represent the LCM.
