Concept explainers
The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 10.
Answer to Problem 66CCR
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The pair of numbers, 6 and 10.
Concept Used:
LCM(least common multiple) of a list of numbers can be found using following steps,
- Write prime factorization of each number
- Find the product ofcommon factors that appear in each number and the remaining prime factors from each number that are not common.
Calculation:
In order to find the least common multiple of the given number, first find the prime factorization of each number as shown below,
Here observe that the only one factor 2 occur once in each number. Apart from this the remaining factors from both numbers are 3, and 5. So, the least common multiple of the numbers would be the product of common factor and the remaining factors as shown below:
Thus, the least common multiple (LCM) of the given numbers is
