Least Common Multiple
The LCM of 2 and 5 is
48
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 16
The prime factor of 16 is 2 . Prime factorization of 16 in exponential form is:
16 =24
Prime factors of 24
The prime factors of 24 are 3 and 2. Prime factorization of 24 in exponential form is:
24 =23x31
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 16:
163248
Multiples of 24:
2448
Therefore,
LCM(16,24) = 48
