The LCM is the least common multiple, a multiple that is lower in value and common in two or more numbers. The LCM of numbers can be used in situations where we have to.
The LCM of 25 and 50 is 50
The LCM of numbers can be found using methods like the Listing Method, the Prime Factorization Method, and the Long Division Method.
The listing method finds the lowest multiple that is common to both 25 and 50 from the multiples of 25 and 50
The multiplies of 25 are 25, 50, 75 and so on
The multiples of 50 are 50, 100, 150 and so on.
The LCM of 25 and 50 is 50
To find the LCM, prime factorize 25 and 50
The prime factors of 25 is 5 → 51
The prime factors of 50 is 2, 5 → 2 × 52
The LCM of 25 and 50 is 21 × 52 = 2 × 5 × 5 = 25
Write the numbers 25 and 50 in a row
Find the number that can divide both 25 and 50
Continue dividing the numbers until you get 1
To get the LCM, multiply the divisors.
LCM of 25 and 50 = 5 × 5 × 2 = 50
Given below are the few mistakes that you can commit while trying to find the LCM of 25 and 50. Tips to avoid them are also given:
The HCF between 25 and 50 is 5. What will be the LCM of 25 and 50 when prime factorization is used?
The LCM of 25 and 50 using the prime factorization method is 50
To find the LCM of 25 and 50 using the prime factorization, list down the prime factors of 25 and 50. From the prime factors of each number, take the prime factor with the highest power, that is 21 and 52. Now multiply these to get 60 as the LCM
The LCM of 25 and b is 50. What is the value of ‘b’?
The value of ‘b’ is 50
We know that the LCM of (25,b) is 50
According to the LCM formula, LCM(a, b) = a × b/HCF(a, b)
50 = 25 × b/HCF(25,b)
B = 50 x HCF(25,b)/25
b=50
The LCM of a and b is 50 and their HCF is 5, what is the product of a and b?
Answer : 1250
LCM(a,b)×HCF(a,b) =a×b
LCM = 50
HCF = 25
50 × 25 = 50 × 25=1250
