LCM for 5 and 27
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5 and 27?
(One hundred thirty-five)
Finding LCM for 5 and 27 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 5 and 27 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 5 and 27 is 1, so
LCM = (5 × 27) ÷ 1
LCM = 135 ÷ 1
LCM = 135
Finding LCM for 5 and 27 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 5 and 27 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145
Multiples of 27: 27, 54, 81, 108, 135, 162, 189
So the LCM for 5 and 27 is 135
Finding LCM for 5 and 27 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 5 and 27 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 5: 5 (exponent form: 51)
All Prime Factors of 27: 3, 3, 3 (exponent form: 33)
51 × 33 = 135
