What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 13 and 30?
(Three hundred ninety)
Finding LCM for 13 and 30 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 13 and 30 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 13 and 30 is 1, so
LCM = (13 × 30) ÷ 1
LCM = 390 ÷ 1
LCM = 390
Finding LCM for 13 and 30 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 13 and 30 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 13: 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104, 117, 130, 143, 156, 169, 182, 195, 208, 221, 234, 247, 260, 273, 286, 299, 312, 325, 338, 351, 364, 377, 390, 403, 416
Multiples of 30: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, 420, 450
So the LCM for 13 and 30 is 390
Finding LCM for 13 and 30 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 13 and 30 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 13: 13 (exponent form: 131)
All Prime Factors of 30: 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 21, 31, 51)
131 × 21 × 31 × 51 = 390
