LCM for 10 and 45
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10 and 45?
(Ninety)
Finding LCM for 10 and 45 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 10 and 45 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 10 and 45 is 5, so
LCM = (10 × 45) ÷ 5
LCM = 450 ÷ 5
LCM = 90
Finding LCM for 10 and 45 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 10 and 45 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110
Multiples of 45: 45, 90, 135, 180
So the LCM for 10 and 45 is 90
Finding LCM for 10 and 45 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 10 and 45 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 10: 2, 5 (exponent form: 21, 51)
All Prime Factors of 45: 3, 3, 5 (exponent form: 32, 51)
21 × 51 × 32 = 90
