What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5 and 26?
Answer
LCM of 5 and 26 is
130
First common multiples: 130, 260, 390, …
130 is divisible by both: 130 ÷ 5 = 26, 130 ÷ 26 = 5 — and 26 and 5 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/5 by 26 and of y/26 by 5.
5 and 26 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 5 × 26 = 130.
5 — prime
26 = 2 × 13
| Prime | 5 | 26 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | — | 2 | 2 |
| 5 | 5 | — | 5 |
| 13 | — | 13 | 13 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 2 × 5 × 13 = 130
