What is the lowest common multiple of 10 and 6?

Answer 1

3 and 5

Answer 2

When finding the lowest common multiple, you first need to break the numbers down into their prime factors. In this case:

10=2x5

6=2x3

The next step is to identify any common prime factors. Both numbers have 2 as a factor, so we can discard one of these. That leaves us with the factors 2, 3 and 5. Multiply these together for the LCM:

2x3x5 = 30

Thus the lowest common multiple of 10 and 6 is 30.
30

Answer 3

LCM(10, 6) = 30
