The LCM of two numbers is one of the numbers when one of the numbers is a multiple of the other. The LCM of two numbers is the product of the numbers when they are relatively prime. In all other cases (like consecutive even numbers that aren't 2 and 4) the LCM is as you describe.
There can only be one LEAST Common Multiple. Since the three numbers are co-prime, their LCM is the same as their product, that is, LCM(4, 37, 69) = 4 * 37 * 69 = 10,212 [Two numbers are co-prime if they have no factor in common. The numbers, themselves, need not be prime.]
LCM is 20, which is the multiple of the highest power of prime factors in the given numbers (22 x 5).The LCM is 20.
LCM is 28, which is the multiple of the highest power of prime factors in the given numbers (22 x 7).
To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 2, 4, and 10, we need to first find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 2 is 2, 4 is 2^2, and 10 is 2 * 5. To calculate the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in the factorizations of the numbers, which gives us 2^2 * 5 = 20. Therefore, the LCM of 2, 4, and 10 is 20.
That's a false statement. Both 16 and 64 have one prime factor. 16 can't be the LCM of two prime numbers and 64 can't be the product. If you leave out the word prime, you can use 16 and 4.
To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 5, 8, and 10, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 4 is 2^2, 5 is a prime number, 8 is 2^3, and 10 is 2 * 5. Then, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers: 2^3 * 5 = 40. Therefore, the LCM of 4, 5, 8, and 10 is 40.
To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 7, 8, 3, and 4, you first need to prime factorize each number. The prime factors of the numbers are 7, 2^3, 3, and 2^2. Then, you take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers. So, the LCM of 7, 8, 3, and 4 is 7 * 2^3 * 3 = 168.
If the GCF of two numbers is 1, their LCM will be their product. Such numbers are called relatively prime, or co-prime. Any two prime numbers (like 3 and 5) will be that way, but the numbers don't have to be prime (like 4 and 9).
To find the LCM of two numbers you first need to split them into their prime factors: 6 = 2x3 4 = 2x2 The next step is to identify any common factors and cross off the duplicates. In this case both numbers have 2 as a prime factor. That leaves us with 2, 2 and 3. Multiplying these together gives 2x2x3 = 12 And thus the LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.
If the GCF of two numbers is 1, their LCM will be their product. Such numbers are called relatively prime, or co-prime. Any two prime numbers (like 3 and 5) will be that way, but the numbers don't have to be prime (like 4 and 9).
