What is the lowest common multiple of 30 and 34?

Answer 1

To find the common multiples of 30 and 34 you first need to break them down into their prime factors:

30 = 2x3x5

34 = 2x17

The next step is to identify the common factors. In this case both numbers have a 2 as a prime factor, so we can discard one of these. Taking all the other factors (2, 3, 5 and 17) and multiplying them together will give us the LCM:

2x3x5x17 = 510

Thus the lowest common multiple of 30 and 34 is 510.
