LCM of 5 and 7
LCM is a common multiple, the smallest value between the numbers 5 and 7. 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 7?
The LCM of 5 and 7. 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 7 using the Listing Multiples Method
Step 1: Write down the multiples of the numbers. Don’t stop too early.
Multiples of 5 = 5,10,15,20,25,30,35…
Multiples of 7 = 7, 14,21,28,35,…
Step 2: Find the smallest number common between the written multiples of 5 and 7
The smallest common multiple is 35
Thus, LCM(5,7) = 35
LCM of 5 and 7 using the Prime Factorization Method
Step 1: factorize the numbers into its prime factors
5 = 5×1
7 = 7×1
Step 2: find the highest powers of the factors of 5 and 7
Step 3: Multiply the highest powers
LCM(5,7) = 35
LCM of 5 and 7 using the Division Method
- Write the numbers 5,7 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(5,7) = 35
