How to find the LCM of 3 and 10?

The LCM of 3 and 10 can be found by the following methods like division method, listing multiples, prime factorization.

LCM of 3 and 10 using Division method:

In the division method, we divide both the numbers by the lowest possible number until we get 1 for both numbers.

3 divides 3 leaving 1

2 divides 10 leaving 5

5 divides 5 leaving 1

LCM = 2 × 3 × 5= 30.

LCM of 3 and 10 using Listing multiples:

We write the multiples of both numbers till we find the common one.

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30…

Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30…
