What is the LCM of 7 and 10

The LCM of 7 and 10 is the lowest number that divides both 7 and 10 without leaving any remainder.

 

The LCM of 7 and 10 is 70.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

How to find the LCM of 7 and 10?

The LCM of 7 and 10 can be found by the following methods like division method, listing multiples, prime factorization.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

LCM of 7 and 10 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 10 and not 9 

 

  • 5 divides 10 and not 7

 

  • 7 divides 7 leaving 1

 

LCM = 2 × 7× 5= 70.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

LCM of 7 and 10 using Listing multiples:

We write the multiples of both numbers till we find the common one.

 

  • Multiples of 7 : 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70…

 

  • Multiples of 10: 10, 20,30,40,50,60,70,80,70…


The common multiple is 70. So, the LCM of 7 and 10 is 70.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

LCM of 7 and 10 using prime factorization:

We part each number into divisors and select the highest powers of all the prime factors.

 

7= 7


10= 2 × 5

 

LCM = 2 × 7 × 5= 70.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in LCM of 7 and 10

While solving problems on LCM, children are likely to make common mistakes, here are a few mistakes and how to avoid them.
 

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

 Not including the prime factors with the right ones.
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

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.

LCM of 7 and 10 Examples

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

Problem 1

If the LCM of 7 and a number x is 70. Find the missing number x.

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

x=10.
 

Explanation

LCM(a, b) x GCD(a, b)= a × b


Here, a=7, LCM (7,x)=70


70 × 1=7 × x

 

70=7x


x=70/7


x=10.

Problem 2

Solve the following expression using LCM of 7 and 10: 2/7+3/10

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

answer:    41/ 70

Explanation

LCM(7,10)=70

 

27 = 20/70 , 3/10=21/70

 

Add the fractions:


20/70 + 21/70 = 41/70


2/7 +3/10 = 4170

Problem 3

If the LCM of 7 and a number x is 70, find x.

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

x=10

Explanation

LCM of 7 and x : 

 

7  x / GCF (7,x)


Since LCM (7,x)= 70 and GCF (7,x)=1


70= 7x/ 1

 

= x = 70/7

 

= 10.

Problem 4

Simplify the expression: x/7 + 5/10 = 1, find the value of x.

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

x=3.5
 

Explanation

LCM (7,10) =70

 

10x/70 + 35/70  = 1

 

10x+35/70 = 1


10x + 35= 70


10x=70-35


10x=35


x=3.5
