Question

find the L. C. M by prime factorization method a. 22 and 44​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1

First we find and list the prime factors of 22 and 44 (Prime Factorization):

Prime Factors of 22:

2, 11

Prime Factors of 44:

2, 2, 11

Step 2

Then we look at the frequency of the prime factors as they appear in each set above. List each prime factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either sets:2, 2, 11

Step 3

Finally, we multiply the prime numbers from Step 2 together.2 x 2 x 11 = 44

That's it. The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 22 and 44 is 44.
