LCM of 30 and 45

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The Least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is divisible by the numbers 30 and 45. The LCM can be found using the listing multiples method, the prime factorization, and/or division methods. LCM helps to solve problems with fractions and scenarios like scheduling or aligning repeating cycles of events.

LCM of 30 and 45 using the Listing Multiples Method

The LCM of 30 and 45 can be calculated using the following steps:



Step 1:Write down the multiples of each number


  — Multiples of 30 = 30, 60, 90,…


  — Multiples of 45 = 45, 90, 135,…


Step 2:Ascertain the smallest multiple from the listed multiples:


  — The smallest common multiple is 90.


Thus, LCM(30,45) = 90

LCM of 30 and 45 using the Prime Factorization Method

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: Find the prime factors of each number:


  — Prime factorization of 30 = 21×31×51


  — Prime factorization of 45 = 32×51


Step 2: Take the highest powers of each prime factor and multiply the highest powers to get the LCM:


LCM(30,45) = 90

LCM of 30 and 45 using the Division Method

This method involves dividing both numbers by their common prime factors and multiplying the divisors to find the LCM.

 

Step 1: Write the numbers, divide by common prime factors, and multiply the divisors.

 

Step 2:A prime integer that is evenly divisible into at least one of the provided numbers should be used to divide the row of numbers. Continue dividing the numbers until the last row of the results is ‘1’ and bring down the numbers not divisible by the previously chosen prime number.

 

Step 3:The LCM of the numbers is the product of the prime numbers in the first column, i.e, 


2×3×3×5 =90


Thus, LCM(32,48)=90
