Least Common Multiple
The LCM of 2 and 5 is
26
Follow the steps below, and let's calculate the LCM of 2 and 5.
Method 1 - Prime factorization
Step 1: Create a list of all the prime factors of the numbers 2 and 5:Prime factor of 13
The prime factor of 13 is 13 . Prime factorization of 13 in exponential form is:
13 =131
Prime factors of 26
The prime factors of 26 are 13 and 2. Prime factorization of 26 in exponential form is:
26 =21x131
Step 2: Identify the highest power of each prime number from the above boxes:
Method 2 - List of Multiples
Find and list multiples of each number until the first common multiple is found. This is the lowest common multiple.Multiples of 13:
1326
Multiples of 26:
26
Therefore,
LCM(13,26) = 26
