Finding LCM for 6 and 10 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 10 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 6 and 10 is 2, so

LCM = (6 × 10) ÷ 2

LCM = 60 ÷ 2

LCM = 30

Finding LCM for 6 and 10 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 10 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42

Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

So the LCM for 6 and 10 is 30

Finding LCM for 6 and 10 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 10 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 6: 2, 3 (exponent form: 21, 31)

All Prime Factors of 10: 2, 5 (exponent form: 21, 51)

21 × 31 × 51 = 30
