What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6 and 50?
Answer
LCM of 6 and 50 is
150
First common multiples: 150, 300, 450, …
150 is divisible by both: 150 ÷ 6 = 25, 150 ÷ 50 = 3 — and 25 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/6 by 25 and of y/50 by 3.
6 = 2 × 3
50 = 2 × 52
| Prime | 6 | 50 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 | — | 3 |
| 5 | — | 52 | 52 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 2 × 3 × 52 = 150
