To find pairs of numbers with a least common multiple (LCM) of 40, we need to consider the prime factorization of 40, which is 2^3 * 5. Any pair of numbers whose prime factorization includes these factors can have a LCM of 40. For example, 8 and 10 have a LCM of 40 because 8 = 2^3 and 10 = 2 * 5. Another pair could be 20 and 40, as both have the prime factors of 40.
2 and 40 4 and 10
If the numbers are x and y then x + y = 40 x - y = 10 so x = 25, y = 15 Then LCM(x, y) = LCM(25, 15) = 75
The least common multiple is the smallest number that is multiple of two or more numbers. 24: 48, 72, 96, 120 40: 40, 80, 120 The LCM for 24 and 40 is 120.
The LCM of 35 and 40 is 280, which is the multiple of the combined prime factors of both numbers (2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7).
An infinite number.
The LCM is 40.
The LCM is 1320.
The LCM of these numbers is 200. LCM is Least Common Multiple.
24 and 48
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
A common question in mathematics asks you to find two pairs of numbers with a given LCM. It is trying to find out whether you know what an LCM is, how to find it and reinforces the fact that more than one pair of numbers can have the same LCM. Q. Find two pairs of numbers with the LCM of 36. A. 4 and 9, 12 and 18 (Other answers are possible.)
