Given:

Find the LCM of 12, 18, 20, 25.

Formula used:

LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.

Calculation:

Prime factorization of each number:

12 = 22 × 3

18 = 2 × 32

20 = 22 × 5

25 = 52

LCM is found by taking the highest power of all prime numbers:

LCM = 22 × 32 × 52

⇒ LCM = 4 × 9 × 25

⇒ LCM = 36 × 25

⇒ LCM = 900

∴ The correct answer is option 3.
