LCM of 4 and 11
The smallest number that should also be a positive number, and evenly divide both the numbers, is known as the least common factor. LCM is very important for solving problems, especially fractions, scheduling events etc.
What is the LCM of 4 and 11
The LCM of 4 and 11 is the lowest number that divides both 4 and 11 without leaving any remainder. The LCM of 4 and 11 is 44.
How to find the LCM of 4 and 11?
The LCM of 4 and 11 can be found by the following methods like division method, listing multiples, prime factorization.
LCM of 4 and 11 using Division method:
In the division method, we divide both the numbers by the lowest possible number until we get 1 for both numbers.
2 divides 4 and not 11
2 divides 2 leaving 1
11 divides 11 leaving 1
LCM = 2 × 2× 11= 44.
LCM of 4 and 11 using Listing multiples:
We write the multiples of both numbers till we find the common one.
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44…
Multiples of 11: 11, 22, 33, 44…
The common multiple is 44. So, the LCM of 4 and 11 is 44.
We write the multiples of both numbers till we find the common one.
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44…
Multiples of 11: 11, 22, 33, 44…
The common multiple is 44. So, the LCM of 4 and 11 is 44.
LCM of 4 and 11 using prime factorization:
We part each number into divisors and select the highest powers of all the prime factors.
4= 2 × 2
11= 11
LCM = 2 × 2 × 11= 44.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in LCM of 4 and 11
While solving problems on LCM, children are likely to make common mistakes, here are a few mistakes and how to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Not including the prime factors with the right ones.
Children sometimes get confused and do not include the prime factors, instead of writing 9=3×3 they write 9=3×1. Students should always break numbers into prime numbers.
Examples of LCM of 4 and 11
Problem 1
Calculate the LCM of 4,11 and 22.
The LCM of 4,11 and 22.
Explanation
The LCM of 4 and 11 is 44
The LCM of 44 and 22 is also 44
Therefore, the LCM of
4,11, and 22 is 44.
Problem 2
Solve the following expression using LCM of 4 and 11: 3/4 + 5/11
The LCM of 4 and 11 is 44.
Explanation
LCM(4,11)=44
3/4 = 3x 11/44 , 5/11=5x4/44
Add the fractions:
33/44 + 20/44 = 53/44
Problem 3
Two events occur every 4 days and 11 days, respectively. If both events coincide today, when will they next occur on the same day?
The LCM of 4 and 11 is 44.
Explanation
LCM of 4 and 11 :
LCM(4,11)= 2 × 2 × 11=44
Both events will occur on the same day again in 44 days.
Problem 4
Solve for x: x/4 + x/11 =15
The value of x is 44.
Explanation
LCM (4,11) =44
11x/44 + 4x/44 =15
15x= 15 × 44
15x = 660
x=44.
