The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. If you have only one number - whether or not it is a prime - you cannot have a least COMMON multiple.
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).
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 7 and 14 is 14.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 11 and 12 is actually 11x12 = 132 This is because 11 is a prime number so has no common factors with 12
The least common multiple (LCM) is often also called the lowest common multiple or smallest common multiple. Keep in mind that these different terms all refer to the same thing: the smallest positive integer which is a multiple of two or more numbers.The least common multiple of 7, 8, and 13 is 728.
Since 11 is a prime number and does not evenly go into 28 or 2, then the least and only common denominator is 1.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 12 is 60.
Only if they're the same number.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 4,7, and 12 is 84.There is no least common multiple for those numbers: the number seven is a prime number.
13 is a prime number. It and 8 have no factors in common. Therefore, the least common multiple is 8 x 13 = 104.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 11, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.Examples:The least common multiple of 3 and 11 is 33.The least common multiple of 11 and 77 is 77.The least common multiple of 2, 5, and 11 is 110.Note: Since 11 is a prime number, if the other number is not a multiple of 11, the least common multiple will be 11 times the other number.
The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the numbers in the set. For sets of multiples, the LCM is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers in the sets. The LCM can be calculated by finding the prime factorization of each number and then taking the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers.
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).
Prime factorization.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 130, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
The least common multiple of two different prime numbers is the product of those two prime numbers.
Prime factorization tells you what prime numbers multiply to get the number. You can see which numbers that number is divisible by to get the multiples and factors.
520. 13 is a prime number and not a factor of 40.
