Summary: In this paper, we prove that for any $C^*$-algebra $A$ with an approximate unit of projections, there is a smallest ideal $I$ of $A$, in which quotient $A/I$ is stably finite. We give a sufficient condition and a necessary condition on which $I$ is the smallest ideal in this case for $A$ by $K$-theory.
