LCM of 25 and 30 using the Prime Factorization

The prime factors of each number are written, and then the highest power of the prime factors is multiplied to get the LCM.


Step 1: Find the prime factors of the numbers:


Prime factorization of 25 = 5×5


Prime factorization of 30  = 2×5×3

 

Step 2: Multiply the highest power of each factor ascertained to get the LCM:

 
LCM (15,30) = 150

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

LCM of 25and 30 using the Division Method

The Division Method involves simultaneously dividing the numbers by their prime factors and multiplying the divisors to get the LCM. 

Step 1: Write down the numbers in a row;

Step 2: A prime integer that is evenly divisible into at least one of the provided numbers should be used to divide the row of numbers.

 

Step 3: Continue dividing the numbers until the last row of the results is ‘1’ and bring down the numbers not divisible by the previously chosen prime number.


     
Step 4: The LCM of the numbers is the product of the prime numbers in the first column, i.e, 


LCM (25,30) = 150

LCM of 25 and 30, Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

Find the LCM of 5x2 and 30x3

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Prime factorize the given expressions; 


5x2 = 5×x


30x3= 2×3×5×x3
 

Explanation

We take the highest power of all the factors in the expression, the LCM of 5x2 and 30x3 = 30x3

Problem 2

Prove → LCM(a,b)×HCF(a,b)=a×b in the case of 25 and 30.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

LCM of 25,30;


Prime factorization of 25= 5×5


Prime factorization of 30  = 2×5×3


LCM(25,30) = 150


HCF of 25,30; 


Factors of 25= 1,5,25


Factors of 30 = 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30


HCF(25,30) = 5


Now applying the formula; 


LCM(a,b)×HCF(a,b)=a×b 


LCM(25,30)×HCF(25,30)=25×30


150×5=25×30


750=750
 

Explanation

LHS = RHS, the verification is hence justified. The property applied; The product of HCF and LCM of a and b is equal to the product of a and b themselves.

Problem 3

Simplify — 25/30

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Find the HCF, to make the simplification simpler, the HCF is a divisor of both the numbers.

 
HCF of 25,30;


Factors of 25= 1,5,25


Factors of 30 = 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30


HCF(25,30) = 5


Now, we simplify the fraction; 


(25/5)/(30/5) = 5/6 =0.833
 

Explanation

 We simplified the fraction easily using the HCF of the numbers.
