LCM of 15 and 35
LCM is the smallest common multiple between 2 or more numbers that can divide the numbers evenly. It is a mathematical tool we apply in various fields like making music, planning and scheduling.
What is the LCM of 15 and 35?
LCM of 15 and 35 becomes 105. Let’s find out how to get the LCM.
How to find the LCM of 15 and 35?
There are various methods to find the LCM, Listing method, prime factorization method and division method are explained below;
LCM of 15 and 35 using the Listing multiples method
list the multiples of the integers until a common multiple is found.
Step 1: List multiples of each number:
Multiples of 15 = 15,30,45,60,…105,…
Multiples of 35 = 35,70,105,…
Step 2: Find the smallest multiple from the listed multiples
The least common multiple of the numbers is 105.
LCM(15,35) = 105
LCM of 15 and 35 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: prime factorize the numbers:
15 = 5×3
35= 7×5
Step 2: pick the highest power of each prime factor and multiply the ascertained factors.
— 7,3,5 = LCM, i.e, 105
LCM of 15 and 35 using the Division Method
Step 1: Write the numbers in a row;
Step 2: Divide the row of numbers by a prime number that is evenly divisible into one of the given numbers, and bring down the numbers not divisible by the previous prime number.
Step 3: Continue dividing the numbers until the last row of the result is ‘1’. The LCM of the numbers is the product of the prime numbers in the first column, i.e,
LCM(15,35)=105
Common Mistakes and how to avoid them in LCM of 15 and 35
When we try to find the LCM, kids may commit some mistakes. Look out for these when you are learning the LCM of 15 and 35.
Mistake 1
Multiplying the numbers instead of finding the LCM
Just multiplying rather than finding the LCM is a mistake often made, numbers 15 and 35 are not co-prime numbers, therefore the product of the numbers is not the LCM.
LCM of 15 and 35 Examples
Problem 1
The sprinkler watering system waters every 15 days and the drip watering system waters every 35 days. On which day do they have to be turned on together?
LCM(15,35) = 105
Explanation
Both the watering systems have to be turned on together in 105 days. The LCM expresses the smallest common time interval between the digits.
Problem 2
Verify a=15,b=35 LCM(a,b)×HCF(a,b)=a×b is satisfied.
LCM of 15,35= 105
HCF of 15,35 = 5
LCM(a,b)×HCF(a,b)=a×b
105×5 = 15×35
525 = 525
Explanation
LHS = RHS, the relationship stands true.
Problem 3
The LCM of 5 and x is 10. Find x.
LCM(5,x) = 10
LCM(a,b)=a×b/HCF(a,b)
LCM(5,x)=5×x/1
5×x = 10
x = 10/5 = 2
Explanation
The LCM of 5 and 2 is 10. The above is how we find it. x = 2.
