LCM for 5 and 50
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5 and 50?
(Fifty)
Finding LCM for 5 and 50 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 5 and 50 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 5 and 50 is 5, so
LCM = (5 × 50) ÷ 5
LCM = 250 ÷ 5
LCM = 50
Finding LCM for 5 and 50 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 5 and 50 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
Multiples of 50: 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, [...], 50
So the LCM for 5 and 50 is 50
Finding LCM for 5 and 50 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 5 and 50 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 50: 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 21, 52)
52 × 21 = 50
