The LCM of 7, 9 and 25 is 1575
where,
7 is a positive integer,
9 is a positive integer,
1575 is the LCM of 7, 9 and 25,
in {7, 3 x 3, 5 x 5} there is no repeated factors of 7, 9 and 25,
{7, 3, 3, 5, 5} in {7, 3 x 3, 5 x 5} are the the other remaining factors of 7, 9 and 25.
Use in Mathematics: LCM of 7, 9 and 25
The below are some of the mathematical applications where lcm of 7, 9 and 25 can be used:
- to find the least number which is exactly divisible by 7, 9 and 25.
- to find the common denominators for the fractions having 7, 9 and 25 as denominators in the unlike fractions addition or subtraction.
In the context of lcm real world problems, the lcm of 7, 9 and 25 helps to find the exact time when three similar and recurring with different time schedule happens together at the same time. For example, the real world problems involve lcm in situations to find at what time all the bells A, B and C toll together, if bell A tolls at 7 seconds, B tolls at 9 seconds and C tolls at 25 seconds repeatedly. The answer is that all bells A, B and C toll together at 1575 seconds for the first time, at 3150 seconds for the second time, at 4725 seconds for the third time and so on.
Important Notes: 7, 9 and 25 lcm
The below are the important notes to be remembered while solving the lcm of 7, 9 and 25:
- The repeated and non-repeated prime factors of 7, 9 and 25 should be multiplied to find the least common multiple of 7, 9 and 25, when solving lcm by using prime factors method.
- The results of lcm of 7, 9 and 25 is identical even if we change the order of given numbers in the lcm calculation, it means the order of given numbers in the lcm calculation doesn't affect the results.
How-to: What is LCM of 7, 9 and 25?
The below solved example with step by step work shows how to find what is the lcm of 7, 9 and 25 by using either prime factors method and special division method.

What is LCM of 7, 9 and 25?
step 1
Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
A = 7
B = 9
C = 25
What to be found:
Find lcm of 7, 9 and 25
step 2 Find the prime factors of 7, 9 and 25:
Prime factors of 7 = 7
Prime factors of 9 = 3 x 3
Prime factors of 25 = 5 x 5
step 3Identify the repeated and non-repeated prime factors of 7, 9 and 25:
Since there is no common factors between 7, 9 and 25, multiplying the given numbers directly provides the LCM of
7, 9 and 25.
= 7 x 9 x 25
= 1575
LCM(7, 9 and 25) = 1575
Hence,
The Least Common Multiple of 7, 9 and 25 is 1575
This special division method is one of the easiest ways to understand the entire calculation to find the LCM of 7, 9 and 25.
step 1 Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
Integers: 7, 9 and 25
What to be found:
lcm (7, 9, 25) = ?
step 2 Arrange the given integers in the horizontal form with space or comma separated format:
7, 9 and 25
step 3 Choose the divisor which divides each or most of the given integers (7, 9 and 25), divide each integers separately and write down the quotient in the next line right under the respective integers. Bring down the integer to the next line if any integer in 7, 9 and 25 is not divisible by the selected divisor; repeat the same process until all the integers are brought to 1 as like below:
| 3 | 7 | 9 | 25 |
| 3 | 7 | 3 | 25 |
| 5 | 7 | 1 | 25 |
| 5 | 7 | 1 | 5 |
| 7 | 7 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
step 4 Multiply the divisors to find the lcm of 7, 9 and 25:
= 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 7
= 1575
LCM(7, 9, 25) = 1575
The LCM of three numbers 7, 9 and 25 is 1575
