Q: What is the LCM of 4,5 and 6?

LCM(4,5,6) = 60 60 is the smallest number that appears commonly on the lists of the numbers 4,5 and 6.

Q: What is the LCM of 5,6 and 30?

30 is the smallest number that appears commonly on the lists of the numbers 5,6 and 30. LCM(5,6,30) = 30

Q: What is the GCF of 5 and 6?

we can find the GCF by writing down the factors of the numbers and find the largest common factor between the numbers. — Factors of 5–1,5 — Factors of 6–1,2,3,6 GCF(5,6) = 1. The GCF of 5 and 6 is 1 because there are no common factors of the numbers.

Q: What are the factors of 5 and 6?

Any numbers that divide into 5 and 6 leaving no remainders behind are the factors of 5 and 6. — Factors of 5=1,5 — Factors of 6=1,2,3,6

LCM is a common multiple, the smallest value between the numbers 5 and 6. Did you know? We apply LCM unknowingly in everyday situations like setting alarms and to synchronize traffic lights and when making music.

What is the LCM of 5 and 6?

The LCM of 5 and 6 is 30. We can find the LCM using the Listing multiples method, the prime factorization method and the long division method. These are explained below.

LCM of 5 and 6 using the Listing multiples method

Step 1: Write down the multiples of the numbers. Don’t stop too early.

— Multiples of 5 = 5,10,15,20,25,30,…

— Multiples of 6 = 6,12,18,24,30,…

Step 2: Find the smallest number common between the written multiples of 3 and 8

— The smallest common multiple is 30

Thus, LCM(5,6) = 30

LCM of 5 and 6 using the Prime Factorization

Step 1: factorize the numbers into its prime factors

5 = 5×1

6 = 2×3

Step 2: find the highest powers of the factors of 3 and 8

Step 3: Multiply the highest powers

LCM(5,6) = 30

LCM of 5 and 6 using the Division Method

Write the numbers 5,6 in a row

Divide them by their common prime factors, if there is one

Carry forward the numbers that are left undivided by the previously chosen factor

Continue dividing until the remainder is ‘1’

Multiply the divisors to find the LCM

LCM(5,6) = 30
