LCM for 30 and 170
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 170?
Answer
(Five hundred ten)
Finding LCM for 30 and 170 using GCF of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 30 and 170 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 30 and 170 is 10, so
LCM = (30 × 170) ÷ 10
LCM = 5100 ÷ 10
LCM = 510
Finding LCM for 30 and 170 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 30 and 170 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:
Multiples of 30: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, 420, 450, 480, 510, 540, 570
Multiples of 170: 170, 340, 510, 680, 850
So the LCM for 30 and 170 is 510
Finding LCM for 30 and 170 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 30 and 170 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 30: 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 21, 31, 51)
All Prime Factors of 170: 2, 5, 17 (exponent form: 21, 51, 171)
21 × 31 × 51 × 171 = 510
