Question

Find the LCM of 4,32
​

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

MULTIPLES of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40

MULTIPLES of 32 = 32, 64, 128, 160, 192

Therefore LCM = 32

Answer 2

Answer:

The lcm of 4 and 32 is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The numbers are 4 and 32.

We have to find the lcm of the above numbers.

• As we know, the lcm is the least number, which is exactly divisible, by two or more numbers.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The numbers are 4 and 32.

First, we will find all prime factors for each number.

Prime Factorization of 4 is:

$2 \times 2 => 2^2$

Prime Factorization of 32 is:

$2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 => 2^5$

For each prime factor, we will find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times in a new list.

The new superset list is:

2, 2, 2, 2, 2

Multiplying these factors together to find the LCM.

$LCM = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 32$

Therefore,

LCM(4, 32) = 32
