5,3,4, and 2 have many common denominators. What is the least common denominator of all of them?Let's look at the multiples of each number. We do this because common denominators are really common multiples of the denominators. And the LCD is really just the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.Starting with 2, the 3, and 4 and last 5 we have the following lists of multiples:2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,68,603,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54,57,604,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52, 56,605,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60So 60 is the first common multiple and it is the least common denominator of 2, 3, 4 and 5. Note that we could also factor 2, 3, 4 and 5 into primes (2, 3 and 5 already are) So we have 2, 3, 2^2 and 5 We take the largest exponent possible from each and we have 3 x 2^2 x 5 = 20 x 3 = 60. This is the faster way to do this.
The LCM of 15 and 33 is 165Break them down into prime factors:33 = 3 x 1115 = 3 x 5.Multiply all the factors apart from one instance of any that appear in both 33 and 15:3 x 5 x 11 is the answer
There is an infinite number of common multiples for 5 and 3. A common multiple of any two or more numbers is any number into which each of two or more numbers can be divided evenly (zero remainder).
The least common multiple of the numbers 3, 12 and 5 is 60.
15
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 5 and 8 is 40.
That would be 15
The least multiple is 3. It is not the least COMMON multiple, but the question was not about common multiples.
The LCM is: 30
The least common multiples of 5, 11, and 13 is 715.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 2 3 5 is 30.
There can only be one "least", and it's 30 .
What are 2 multiples that 3 and 5 have in common
The common multiples of 4 and 5 are 20, 40, 60, 80,100 and so onGet the least common multiple of the two. All other common multiples are multiples of this least common multiple.Any multiple of 20.
All common multiples of a set of numbers are multiples of the least common multiple. Therefore:* Use any standard procedure to find the LEAST common multiple. * Multiply that by 1, by 2, by 3, etc. to find additional common multiples.
15 1*15 =15 5*3 = 15
