What is LCM of 165 and 195?


Definition of LCM

LCM stands for least common multiple. In mathematics, LCM of two numbers 165 and 195, is defined as the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both. It is written as LCM(165, 195).

Properties of LCM

  • The LCM of two or more prime numbers is exactly equal to their product.
  • LCM is associative which means LCM(165, 195) = LCM(195, 165).
  • LCM is commutative which means LCM(a, b, c) = LCM(LCM(a, b), c) = LCM(a, LCM(b, c)).
  • LCM is distributive, which means LCM(ab, bc, ad) = d * LCM(x, y, z).
  • The LCM of two given numbers is always greater than the given numbers numbers. Eg- LCM of 165 and 195 is 2145, where 2145 is greater than 165 and 195.
