The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 64 and 65, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,65) = 1
LCM(64,65) = ( 64 × 65) / 1
LCM(64,65) = 4160 / 1
LCM(64,65) = 4160
(i) The LCM of 65 and 64 is associative
LCM of 64 and 65 = LCM of 65 and 64
