To find the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The number 26 can be broken down into 2 x 13. Since one number is even and the other is odd, the even number must contain a factor of 2. The LCM of an even number and an odd number will always be the product of the two numbers, in this case, 26.

This would be easier with the other number. The LCM of 4 and any odd number is their product. The LCM of 4 and any even number is either the other number or half the other number depending on whether it is a multiple of 4 or not.

Are all odd LCM answer always the multiple of each number?

LCM stands for "least common multiple." By definition, they are multiples of each number, odd or even.


The LCM of an odd and even number is always even?

Well, honey, that statement is as true as Dolly Parton's hair being fabulous. When you find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of an odd and even number, the result will always be even because the LCM is the smallest number that both numbers can divide into evenly. And let's face it, odd numbers just can't hang with the even crowd when it comes to being even themselves.


Can two odd numbers and one even number have a LCM which is even?

Of course they can: 2, 3 & 5: LCM 30


Why is and odd number minus an even number odd?

Because the second number from an odd number is odd, and every other number is an odd number. In fact, if you add or subtract an even number with any number, the result keeps the same parity as the other number. So an odd number minus an even number is odd, while an even number minus and even number is even.

Why does five have even and odd multiples?

That happens because 5 is an odd number. An odd number times an odd number will give you an odd product; an odd number times an even number will give you an even product. The same happens for the multiples of any other odd number.


Is the sum of two square consecutive numbers an odd number?

Yes. One has to be the square of an odd number. The other square has to the the square of the even number either before or after the odd number. If this is confusing just plug in real values. In either case, an odd times and odd is odd. Therefore one of the squares has to be odd. AN even times an even, however, is always even. Therefore, the second square has to be even. Thus, one of the squares is even and the other is odd. An even plus and odd is always odd.
