Question

Find the L.C.M. of 32 and 112 by division method​

Answer 1

Answer:

The LCM of 32 and 112 is 224.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the LCM by division method, we write the given numbers in a row separately by commas, then divide the numbers by a common prime number. We stop dividing after reaching the prime numbers. The product of common and uncommon prime factors is the LCM of given numbers.

Answer 2

The LCM of 32 and 112 is 224.

Steps to find LCM

Find the prime factorization of 32

32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

Find the prime factorization of 112

112 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7

Multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs in steps i) or ii) above to find the LCM:

LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7

LCM = 224

Implement the factors in your method and you would get the same answer.
